Energy Calculations
These figures in us dollars assume a normal environment in the northeastern part of the United States, and allow for such factors as the resulting reduction of cooling and/or heating costs, cost of reheat and cost of excess cooling.  If the Herrmidicool is installed in other areas or in an environment with a lighter or lower internal heat load, the distribution of cooling and heating load hours would be different. It is not hard to see that for many applications, the Herrmidicool will be the most efficient humidification system.
Typical Annual Operating Costs 1000 lb./hr. Hermidicool System Versus Other Forms of Humidification	Energy Cost: Electricity = $.08/kw. Fuel Oil = $.80/gal. Natural Gas = $.40/therm
Herrmidicool (1)	$ 9,520
Oil Fired Steam (2)	$16,768
	Annual Energy Savings $ 7,248
Herrmidicool (1)	$ 8,133
Gas Fired Steam (2)	$14,702
	Annual Energy Savings $ 6,569
Herrmidicool (1)	$28,022
Electric Fired Steam (2)	$44,322
	Annual Energy Savings $16,300
(1) Including Reheat (2) Including Cooling Costs
