If you must enter wet bulb or dew point instead of RH,
then simply adjust RH as necessary to obtain the
desired wet bulb or dew point temperature.
** To find ADP set "RH out" to 100% then manually adjust "outlet temp" until SHR is equal to system SHR.
The adjusted outlet temp will be equal to the ADP.
Enter ADP in the yellow cell marked ADP, now set supply air temp and RH back to their initial values.
BF will now be displayed.

Right and left calculators operate independently.
Calculators include precise psychrometric calculations for maximum accuracy.
Make sure the desired elevation is entered, since the cfm result can vary
considerably depending upon this value.
The inlet RH is optional, since it has very little effect on the
calculated cfm at normal inlet temperatures. If the RH cell is empty
its value will be regarded as 0. Greater accuracy is obtained when
the actual inlet RH value is entered.
