Run Calculation
Design basis: Condensate flow from psychrometric moisture removal. Heat removal via enthalpy method (AIRAH DA09). Pipe capacity per Manning's equation (n = 0.009, half-full flow assumption per AS 3500.2). Results are indicative only and do not replace professional engineering judgement.
