Processes - Sensible Heating


When air undergoes SENSIBLE HEATING (no
change in content of moisture), the status point
shifts to the right of its initial condition
(HORIZONTAL LINE TO THE RIGHT)
For a given volumetric flowrate of air, the
final point depends on the amount of heat
added
The line connecting the initial status
point and the final status point is called
“PROCESS”.
In this example this is

Processes - Cooling & Dehumidification


Also known as Dehumidification by Cooling
The temperature below which further cooling of air causes
condensation is called DEW POINT TEMPERATURE

When air is cooled below its dew point moisture from the air
starts condensing

If we need to remove moisture from air (de-humidify) we


need to cool air below its dew point

Lower the temperature of air, greater is the removal


(condensation) of moisture. Ie, greater is the dehumidification
effect

Also known as Dehumidification by Cooling

“sensible cooling” – till it reaches the dew point.
In this case DPT IS ~~14 OC
Air is saturated at this point and at 14 OC, it
is holding the maximum amount of moisture

Processes
Adiabatic Humidification or Evaporative Cooling
Rapidly flowing air is exposed to either a water
spray or a wet pad allowing direct heat transfer
between air and water
Moisture evaporates. For evaporation to take
place, latent heat is required
This latent heat is taken from the FINAL STATUS POINT
surrounding air thereby cooling the air ~~21.5 OC, WBT, 90% RH

Internal Heat transfer, no addition or INITIAL STATUS POINT


~~21.5 OC, WBT, 30% RH
removal of extraneous heat
Enthalpy of air remains constant as
it travels along the constant
enthalpy / constant WBT line
Final status point depends on the
saturation efficiency of the
equipment.
In this case, saturation
efficiency is 90%
