DEHUMIDIFICATION CALC
305 Sport Activity Building
Scenario 1: sweem meet
Pool evaporation
Wp = 4 E-5 A (pw - pa) Fa
Reference: 2011 Ashrae Handbook Applications 5.6
Water temperature (C)
Air temperature (C)
Relative humidity (%)
A: area of pool surface (m2)
pw: saturation vapor pressure taken at surface water
temperature, kPa
pa: saturation pressure at dew point, kPa
Fa: activity factor
Wp: evaporation of water (kg/s)
Wp: evaporation of water (kg/h)
Occupant load + Outdoor air
Occupation (Spectators)
Ventilation rate (Ashrae Standard 62.1 Table 6-1) (l/s/m2)
Swimming pool area (pool + deck)
Ventilation rate (Ashrae Standard 62.1 Table 6-1) (l/s/person)
Swimming pool Spectator area (Ashrae Standard 62.1 Table 6-1) (l/s/m2)
Spectator area (m2)
Outdoor ventilation (l/s)
Humidification needed according to HAP calculation (kg/h) HR 44% (Winter)
Humidity balance
Evaporation - Occupant load - Outdoor air load (kg/h)

Conclusion scenario 1
Relative humidity 44%
