Sizing ThermaPhase Units

To size a ThermaPhase unit, you must know the volume of air being compressed, the relative humidity of the air and the inlet temperature.  Table 1 is a chart showing the SCF/M of compressed air required to produce one gallon per hour of condensate at various inlet temperatures and relative humidities.

Step 1

 Locate on Table 1 the SCF/M of air factor using the inlet temperature and relative humidity of the application.

Step 2

 Divide the SCF/M of air required by the application of the SCF/M of air factor obtained from Table 1.  This number is the gallons of condensate per hour required to be processed by the ThermaPhase.

Step 3

 Pick a ThermaPhase unit with capacity to handle the condensate from Table 2.

Example

500 SCF/M • Air Temp - 70ºF • Relative Humidity -70%

Step 1

 Refering to Table 1 for an air temperature of 70ºF and a relative humidity of 70%, we find an air factor of 174.3

Step 2

 Dividing our compressor capacity of 500 SCF/M by the air factor:

500SCF/M  / 174.3 SCF/M/Gal/Hr = 2.87 Gal/Hr.
Step 3 Refering to Table 2, we find it takes a ThemaPhase TP-12 to handle this application.
