*Velocity in feet per minute = Duct airflow volume in cubic feet per minute / duct area in square feet .
Example: 1,200 cfm through 16" x 12" duct = 1,200/(12 x 16/144 sq . in ./sq ft .) = 1,200/1 .333 = 900 fpm
Elevation
The preferred location for the dispersion tube is higher than the
humidifier so that the steam hose has a constant downward
slope of at least 2" per foot from the dispersion tube to the
humidifier . If hard pipe is used, the slope can be 1/4" per foot .
With the constant downward slope, any condensation that forms
in the steam hose will drain back into the steam canister . See
Figure 3 .
