Find the cooling load per pound of dry air resulting from infiltration of room air at 80F dry-bulb temperature and 67F wet-bulb temperature into a cooler maintained at 30F dry-bulb and 28F wet-bulb temperature, where moisture freezes on the coil, which is maintained at 20F.

The path followed on a psychrometric chart is shown in Fig. 12-9.

Inlet enthalpy h1 = h1+ D1 = 31.62 - 0.1 = 31.52 Btu/lb dry air


Exit enthalpy h2 = h2 + D2 = 10.1 + 0.06 = 10.16 Btu/lb dry air Inlet moisture H1 = 78 gr/lb dry air

Exit moisture H2 = 19 gr/lb dry air


Moisture rejected DH = 59 gr/lb dry air

Enthalpy of rejected moisture = -1.26 Btu/lb dry air (from small diagram of Fig. 12-2)
Cooling load qr = 31.52 - 10.16 + 1.26 = 22.62 Btu/lb dry air

Note: that if the enthalpy deviations were ignored, the calculated cooling load would be about 5 percent low.
