Hvac Condensate Calculator: Difference in Specific Humidity gr/ft3

This document contains an HVAC condensate calculator. It provides input conditions of average daily temperature of 70 degrees and relative humidity of 71% and calculates output conditions of 55 degrees and 40% relative humidity, resulting in a specific humidity difference of 3.9 gr/ft3. For a 3.5 ton system operating at 350 ft/min/ton, it calculates a condensate rate of 0.49 gallons/hour and 11.8 gallons/day.
