HOW DOES FLOW RATE AFFECT DRYER SIZE?
Dryers are specified with a flow rate in terms of SCFM, which is the flow in cubic feet per minute corrected to standard conditions. However, dryers are sized based on ACFM, or cubic feet per minute at actual conditions. This is where the inlet pressure and temperature can affect the dryer size when the SCFM is corrected to ACFM.
