    Isothermic humidifier



    How do I calculate the rate of evaporation of a steam humidifier?

    My first answer would be to read the instruction manual and the second would be to contact the manufacturer.

    Or, you could monitor the water usage and go from there...or measure the up and down stream air conditions...

    What data were you given? Heat or power input?

    Re: Isothermic humidifier

    The amount of steam depends solely on the heat you add to the water. This is a pure simple thermodynamical question.
    Adding heat to let it boil and then adding further heat to vaporise the water.
    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.
