Note! In psychrometric charts and Mollier diagram the amount of vapor is given in kg/kg dry air. The values from the table above can be transformed dividing by the air density at the actual temperature.

Example - Humidifying Air with Steam

Air at 20oC and 30% relative humidity are humidified to 20oC and 80% relative humidity.

From the table above it can be estimated that air at 20oC and 30% relative humidity contains 0.52 kg water vapor per 100 m3 air flow. Air at 20oC and 80% relative humidity contains 1.39 kg per 100 m3 air flow.

The amount of water vapor can be calculated like

Amount of Water Vapor = ((1.39 kg) - (0.52 kg))

= 0.87 kg

is the amount of water vapor necessary for an air volume of 100 m3.
