3 Methods for Calculating Dehumidifier Capacity:
1. Calculating Capacity Based on Area
Different room sizes require different capacity requirements for a de dehumidifier. Proper matching ensures your device operates most effectively. Refer to the capacity calculation methods based on room size below:
- Room 10 – 40m²: Capacity of 10 – 20 L/day
- Room 40 – 80m²: Depending on seasonal variations in humidity, select a unit with a capacity ranging from 18 – 50 L/day
- Room 50 – 110m²: Necessary capacity falls between 40 – 60 L/day to meet humidity removal needs
- Room 90 – 120m²: Opt for a machine with a capacity of 60 – 90 L/day, depending on room humidity for optimal moisture balance
- Room 120 – 200m²: Machine capacity should be at least 150 L/day to eliminate excess room moisture effectively
- Room 600 – 800m²: Requires a minimum suction power of 180 L/day
The first step is to determine the required dehumidification capacity for your workshop. This calculation is based on the size of the space, humidity levels at various times. Consult a technician for a survey to calculate the most suitable capacity!
2. Calculating Dehumidification Capacity Based on Materials, Objects in the Room
Each type of material has different moisture retention and absorption capabilities. Therefore, attention should be paid to the construction of the room (types of tiles, paint, etc.) as well as the moisture resistance of the items in the room. Refer to suitable moisture levels for each type of material:
- Fabric: moisture level 50% – 60%
- Wood, handicrafts: moisture level 50%
- Electronic devices: moisture level 35% – 45%
- Musical instruments: moisture level 40% – 70%
- Ceramics, glassware: moisture level 35% – 65%
- Alcohol, beer, spirits: moisture level 50% – 70%
Combined with the measured humidity in the room and the room area, you can calculate the minimum capacity of the industrial dehumidifier using the formula below:
Capacity = Area (m²) x (Current Humidity Ratio – Target Humidity Ratio) x 0.0085
Where: 0.0085 is the conversion coefficient from area (m²) to the amount of water to be removed (liters)
3. Other Methods for Dehumidifier Calculation
In addition to calculating dehumidifier selection based on room size and materials, you can calculate based on other indices such as:
- Room temperature measurement: for spaces requiring low temperatures, you should choose a product with high capacity to ensure the best balance of humidity and temperature in the room.
- Number of people operating in the room: Humidity from human bodies will affect the overall humidity of the room. Consider selecting a dehumidifier with suitable capacity to both dehumidify and promote human health.
In general, there are many ways for you to calculate and select industrial dehumidifiers and the most suitable capacity for your home. However, to choose the most suitable product, you need to listen to the advice of professionals such as technicians, surveyors, salespeople, etc.
