Dew point temperature

Dew point temperature

Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture vapor, and can hold no more water vapor. When air is cooled, its capacity for water vapor is reduced. Eventually, if temperature is cooled enough, the relative humidity will reach 100%, or saturation. When this occurs, the air has reached its dew point temperature.

Calculating the dew point temperature is especially important when monitoring humid air masses. Typically, the most humid air mass in a structure affected by water intrusion will be the indoor air. Restorers then compare the Dew point to surface temperatures throughout the structure. If surfaces are cooler than the dew point of the surrounding air, water will condense on those surfaces and possibly cause secondary damage.

Note: Secondary damage can occur even if condensation does not. High humidity alone can result in secondary damage.

flood, water loss & Evaporation. Dry a flood

flood, water loss & Evaporation. Dry a flood

Evaporation

What is Evaporation and how does it affect drying when recovering from a water loss?

We always want to remove as much water as possible in flood situation. One way is through Evaporation.all the standing water has been removed but there is moisture in material and air, this is when we want to increase evaporation to speed the drying process.

Evaporation will increase when
  • Wet materials are made warmer.
  • When drier air is used, and
  • When air is moved more rapidly across the wet surface.
This is when you will see us place air movers and dehumidifiers, being that when water is evaporated , the water vapor is removed by dehumidification or ventilation.    Remember to always call ServiceMASTER of Salt Lake  801-506-0027

Psychrometric Chart, the science of drying your home.

Psychrometric Chart

The Science of Drying out your home. 


To properly evaluate temperature, relative humidity and grains per pound (or g/kg), restorers must use a psychrometric chart. Typically, a restorative drying technician will acquire a dry bulb temperature (either in Fahrenheit or Celsius) and a relative humidity using a thermohygrometer. These two readings establish the capacity of the air mass (temperature) to hold moisture and the relative amount of moisture in the air (relative humidity).

After acquiring these two readings, the technician can then employ the psychrometric chart to calculate GPP  (Grains per pound).  Other calculations are also made if necessary. Once these calculation are completed the technician compares them to surrounding conditions or previous conditions to evaluate drying potential.
