Well it works! The shop boys state that my "Frankenstein" lives.
It is in the shop and cooling. Been running for about two hours. So far here are the stats.
Input water temp 65F, output water temp 80F (delta t of 15 F)
return air 75F supply air temp 45F (delta t across coil of 30F)
return air rel humidity 50% supply air rel humidity 95% (almost saturated, so the low fan speed looks good
water flow ~ 1.5 GPM (6 L/min) I may adjust this to 2 GPM to see if BTU output goes up.
condensate volume output 0.6 oz per min (20 ml/min)
at 115 V ac, it draws about 9 amps ~ 1 kW.
I will try to find an air flow meter tomorrow to measure the blower output in cfm. With that info, I should be able to calculate the effective BTU/hr output.
Or do I have enough info right now?
