Enter input to yellow cells only. Right and left calculators operate independently. Calculators include precise psychrometric calculations for maximum accuracy. Make sure the desired elevation is entered, since the cfm result can vary considerably depending upon this value. The inlet RH is optional, since it has very little effect on the calculated cfm at normal inlet temperatures. If the RH cell is empty its value will be regarded as 0. Greater accuracy is obtained when the actual inlet RH value is entered.
