E i REvaporation Rate
Lb/h = 0.1 x A x ΔP x AF • A: Water Area; ft²
•ΔP: Δ Vapor pressure; inches Hg
•AF: Activity Factor (0.5 = Baseline)
E i REvaporation Rate
Lb/h = 0.1 x A x ΔP x AF Typical calculation has 2 scenarios:
• AF = 0.5 and space @ 50% (night)
• AF = 1.0 and space @ 60% (active)

Th A f Ai Di ib iThe Art of Air Distribution
Air changes per ASHRAE4 6 h i i• 4 – 6 per hour in a natatorium
• 6 – 8 per hour in a spectator area• 8 per hour (occupied) in a water parkSpecify CFM needed to satisfy this p y y
requirement.
Th A f Ai Di ib iThe Art of Air Distribution• Supply air to breathing zone!
S l i t h d ti• Supply air to where condensation is predictable
• Exterior windows & Doors.• Return location must complement• Return location must complement
