    The document calculates the make-up water requirement of an air washer unit for a ventilation system. It determines that the water loss due to evaporation is 0.513 cubic meters of water per hour, which is around 0.82% of the pump capacity. Taking into account additional losses, the total make-up water requirement is estimated to be 2-3% of the pump capacity of 62 cubic meters per hour.

    SAMPLE 

    CALCULATION OF MAKE‐UP WATER REQUIREMENT OF AIR WASHER UNIT FOR VENTILATION 
    SYSTEM (V7) 
     
    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/m³ 
     
    Inlet water temperature at Air washer Unit – 20 Deg.C (assumed) 
     
    Density of water at 20 Deg.C – 998.2 kg/m³ 
     
    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 (m³ of water/m³ of air) =  833x10‐5   m³ of water/m³ 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 = 0.513m³ of water which is around 0.82% of the pump capacity. 
     
    With evaporation loss and loss due to carry over of moisture, the make‐up water requirement may 
    be considered as 2‐3% of the pump capacity.
