WHY STUDY PSYCHROMETRYIf HVAC problems and challenges are to be
properly diagnosed and designed, it is essential that the psychrometric chart and psychrometrics in general be clearly understood.
2
OBJECTIVE
This course will review the introductory elements of psychrometrics (the behavior of mixtures of air and water vapor under varying conditions) and the chart that represents it.

IntroductionWHAT IS PSYCHROMETRY
Psychrometry is the study of MOIST AIR:
-its properties -changes in its conditions
8
IntroductionWHAT IS PSYCHROMETRY
Psychrometrics deals with thermodynamic properties of moist air and uses these properties to analyze conditions and processes involving moist air'. (1997 ASHRAE Handbook, 6.1 p1)
9
Definitions and ConceptsWhat is AIR
AIR is considered to be a mix of dry air and water vapor plus impurities.
10
What is AIR
DRY AIR is mainly nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2) with traces of argon (Ar), carbon dioxide (CO2) and other gases
WATER VAPOR is H2O and constitutes about 0.40 per cent of the whole global atmosphere and typically makes up one to four per cent of the mass of the combined air mixture at the Earth’s surface.

14
DRY BULB TEMPERATUREThe air dry bulb temperature, θ(°C), is the temperature measured using a standard thermometer that is shielded from any radiant heating or cooling effects.

DRY BULB TEMPERATUREThe air dry bulb temperature, θ(°C), is the temperature measured using a standard thermometer that is shielded from any radiant heating or cooling effects.

WET BULB TEMPERATURE
WET BULB - the temperature reading from a wetted bulb that gives a direct indication as to the total heat content of air
17
ADIABATIC WET BULB

HUMIDITY RATIO WThe weight of the water vapor in each pound or kg of dry air
It is also same ratio as the partial pressures of water vapor to total pressure.
21
HUMIDITY RATIO WThe mass of the water vapor in 1 kg of dry air is termed the moisture contentg (kg/kgda) – this is really a ‘vapor’ content and humidity ratio.
To avoid errors in writing down small numbers associated with moisture content, the units of g/kgda are frequently used as GRAINS.
7000 grains of water = 1 pound of water.

RELATIVE HUMIDITYThe amount of water vapor in the air divided by the amount of water vapor the air can hold (at the same temperature and pressure.)

RELATIVE HUMIDITY
27
DEW POINTDEW POINT temperature, θ(°C), is the temperature at which water condenses out from moist air as it is cooled at constant pressure.
28
DEW POINT
29
SPECIFIC VOLUMESpecific volume indicates the space occupied by air. It is expressed as a volume per unit weight
(OPPOSITE of density -weight per unit volume).
30
DENSITY OR SPECIFIC VOLUME
Values range from 12.5 to 15.0 cubic feet/ pound of dry air. Greater specific volume is associated with warmer temperatures (dry-bulb).
31
ENTHALPYEnthalpy is the TOTAL heat energy content of moist air. It is expressed in Btu per pound of dry air.
Represents the heat energy due to:1 temperature 2 moisture in the air.
32
ENTHALPYSENSIBLE heat is the heat (energy) in the air due to the temperature of the air.
LATENT heat is the heat (energy) in the air due to the moisture of the air.

THE COOLING COIL PROCESS
Cooling and dehumidifying is the process of lowering both the dry-bulb temperature and the humidity ratio of the moist air.
51
THE COOLING COIL PROCESS
If moist air comes in contact with a surface that is below the dew-point temperature of the air, moisture will condense on the surface and the air will be dehumidified

Relationship of Dewpoint, RH, Wetbulb, and Drybulb

WORKSHOPConsider Philippines, in a hot humid day 90°F and 90% RH. We need a room condition to 70°F at 50% RH.
We do this by chilling the air far enough to condense out enough moisture to dehumidify it: the goal is to have air with absolute humidity not exceeding 0.008 lbs of moisture per pound of air (~50 to 55 grains per pound of dry air).
Show the processes on the psychrometric chart.
