Positive static head & Condensate
Positive static head & Condensate
(OP)
Dear Experts,
Is there any corelations available to calculate the static head developed in terms of Pascals for a given room when the supply and exhaust air flow rates are known. How to calculate the condensate that can be recovered over a year's period. The plan is to use the condensate as make-up water in the cooling tower.
Thanks in advance.

Now, as for using the condensate for makeup water, that is not worth the piping required. Condensate is the net difference between the grains moisture in incoming air and discharge air. 1 pound of water = 7000 grains. Typically, the condensate is a small trickle, unless you have a massive 100% outside air unit. Why bother? If water is so scarce (as in the Mid East), there won't be much (if any) condensate recovered anyway from the air. In Baghdad for instance, I never saw any storm drain systems. It does not rain enough to justify such investment.

I was verifying if there is a formula available that can calculate the positive pressure in a conditioned room if the treated fresh air quantity and exhaust air quantity are known. Thanks.
