Humidification
◼ The transfer of water vapor to atmospheric
air is referred to as humidification
◼ Here the term latent heat transfer is used.
This process is usually accomplished by
introducing water vapor or by spraying fine
droplets of water that evaporate into the
circulating air stream. Wetted mats or plates
may also be used.
Dehumidification
◼ The opposite of humidification, which
means reducing or removing moisture
or water vapor in the air.
Review: Psychrometry
◼ Psychrometry is the science dealing
with the physical laws of air – water
mixtures.
➢ When designing an air conditioning
system, the temperature and moisture
content of the air to be conditioned, and
the same properties of the air needed to
produce the desired air conditioning
effect, must be known.
➢ Once these properties are known, the air
conditioning task can be determined.
Properties of Air

Thermometers
Dew Point Temperature
◼ Condensation
occurs at the Dew
Point Temperature
Saturation temperature
◼ Saturation temperature occurs at 100
% RH where WB, DB and DP
temperature is the same (Fog)

Specific volume
Enthalpy
◼ The total heat energy in one pound of air
(Btu/lb) at its present condition
Enthalpy (h) = Sensible Heat + Latent
Heat
