What You Need to KnowUnderstand the underlying principles of psychrometrics

Page 4: ARCH-432

What You Need To Be Able To Do

Read a Psychrometric chartBe able to apply psychrometrics to predict and solve simple HVAC problems

Enthalpy

To understand in a simple way, Enthalpy means change of heat. Enthalpy can be positive or negative. For water when heated to a very high temp changes its state into vapor. Here heat change takes place.

PsychrometryPsychrometry is the science dealing with the physical laws of air – watermixtures. To obtain comfort, and select an

appropriate HVAC system, the psychrometric conditions must be known.

Saturation

You get sheep?No you get Fog!

What happens when the DP, WB, and DB are the same?

Page 14: ARCH-432

SaturationWhen the dry-bulb, wet-bulb, and dew-point temperatures are the same, the air is saturated. It can hold no more moisture. When air is at a saturated condition, moisture entering the air displaces moisture within the air. The displaced moisture leaves the air in the form of fine droplets. When this condition occurs in nature, it is called fog.

Relative HumidityThe fourth property RH, is therefore a comparison of the amount of moisture that a given amount of air is holding, to the amount of moisture that the same amount of air can hold, at the same dry-bulb temperature.

Team Problem Solving Based upon your estimates of

occupancy, met and clo value, what DB/RH condition point will create the most comfort in the first floor of Carpenter Hall in summer?A. 73 F/50% RHB. 75 F/45% RHC. 75 F/55% RHD. 78 F/40% RH

Plot this point on your Psychrometric chart.
