While not exact, the following simple formulas may be used to approximate continuous run
time at specific RH and temperature values.
Hours per gallon @ 0 °C, 20 L/min
≈
68000
%RH
Hours per gallon @ 25 °C, 20 L/min
≈
14000
%RH
Hours per gallon @ 50 °C, 20 L/min
≈
3500
%RH
Hours per gallon @ 70 °C, 20 L/min
≈

Using lower flow rates will increase the "hours per gallon" time directly. For instance, a 2:1
decrease in flow (i.e., 10 L/min) causes a corresponding 2:1 increase in time.
