Temperature
How much steam is needed to transform air at 30oF with 100% humidity to air at 70oF with 40% humidity?
The difference (2.76 - 1.67) = 1.09 lb/h is the amount of steam needed for 100 cfm/h air flow.
This table neglects the sensible heat required to heat cold air to final state. In the example above the heat required to heat 100 cfm dry air from 30oF to 70oF must be added. The heat can be added as dry heat with heating panels or similar, or in general more convenient by adding more steam.
