    Air Washer Makeup Water Calculation

    Uploaded by

    The document calculates the makeup water requirement for an air washer unit used in a ventilation system. It determines that the water loss due to evaporation in cooling the air from 50°C to 32°C is 0.513 cubic meters. Adding further water loss factors, the total makeup water requirement is estimated to be 2-3% of the pump capacity, which is 62 cubic meters per hour.

    SAMPLE CALCULATION OF MAKE-UP WATER

    WASHER UNIT FOR VENTILATION SYSTEM (V7)

    REQUIREMENT

    OF

    AIR

    Capacity of the Air Washer Unit 61,000 CMH


    Capacity of the pump selected based on above Air Flow rate 62 CMH
    Dry Bulb Temperature (DBT) of air at Inlet of Air Washer Unit 50Deg.C (Maximum
    temperature as per Site condition) and Relative Humidity (RH) of air 26% (During
    summer)
    Density of air at 50 Deg.C 1.109 kg/m
    Inlet water temperature at Air washer Unit 20 Deg.C (assumed)
    Density of water at 20 Deg.C 998.2 kg/m
    As per enclosed Psychometric chart, Corresponding to DBT-50 and RH-26%, The
    moisture content at the inlet of Air Washer Unit 20 gm/kg a
    Dry Bulb Temperature (DBT) at the outlet of Air Washer Unit- 32 Deg.C (with 90%
    Saturation Efficiency) and the Moisture content 27.5 gm/kg a
    Hence, water loss due to evaporation may be considered as (27.5-20) =7.5 gm/kg
    a i.e,
    0.0075x1.109 (m of water/m of air) = 833x10-5 m of water/m of air
    998.2
    Now, considering the air flow rate of the Air Washer Unit, total quantity of water
    loss due to
    evaporation 833x10-5x61000 = 0.513m of water which is around 0.82% of the
    pump capacity.
    With evaporation loss and loss due to carry over of moisture, the makeup water requirement may be considered as 2-3% of the pump capacity.
