Dew-Point Moisture-Load Sizing Calculator

Estimate the moisture-removal load and a starting process-airflow class for a room that must hold a low relative humidity or dew point with a rotary desiccant dehumidifier.

Your target air is very dry (target humidity ratio in molecular-sieve territory). A standard silica-gel wheel may not reach it in one pass — a molecular-sieve wheel and/or a multi-stage arrangement is likely required. See the desiccant media selector, and confirm the staging with Koven Air.

Planning estimate only. This calculator uses simplified psychrometrics at 101.325 kPa, an infiltration-only load model, and a rough 6 g/m³ pickup rule. It ignores permeation, product/process latent gains beyond your entry, fresh-air make-up, reactivation energy, and duct losses. Treat the airflow and class as a starting point, not an engineered specification.
