Psychrometric Processes
1- Sensible CoolingCooling Coil
2- Sensible Heating Heating Coil
Effect of Sensible Cooling/Heating on the Psychromtric Properties of Air
Example Calculate the load on the heating coil used for heating 1.5 m3/s of moist air atDBT= 21 oC, WBT=15 oC by 20 oC. If the water is working fluid that enters thecoil at 85 oC, and leaves at 75 oC. Calculate the mass flow rate of the water.
3- Evaporative Cooling
Solution
Example
Example1m3/s of outdoor moist air at DBT= -1 oC, 100%; RH is mixed with 2 m3/s of recirculated air at DBT= 22 oC, 50% RH. Draw the process on the psychrometric chart and find the mixing point by calculations and then find the properties (RH,w,h,v) of the mixing point. Solution
