Psychrometric Chart

The Psychrometric Chart.

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.

In Place Drying... Fast Evaporation.

In Place Drying.......Fast Evaporation

(air movers not placed yet)
When performing in-place drying, more airmovers are needed for fast evaporation.

  • In a class 2 or class 3 water loss, air movers are placed every 10'-16'  along the wall.  ( if you use metric  3-4 m) along the wall.
  • Air movers are directed toward the wall at a 15° to 45° angle, depending upon the type of air mover.
  • The air mover snout will almost touch the wall, which means within 1"  (again,  if you are metric- 2.5 cm ) of the wall but not rubbing it.
All air movers ins each area will face the same direction, whether clockwise or counter-clockwise, to ensure that air movers are not pushing against each other .

Potable Desicant

Portable Desiccant:

  • Use for difficult to dry situations, such as difficult class 4 losses.
  • Use if a structure cannot be warmed to a temperature where LGRs would be effective
