Preface

Psyc hrometries is a tool HV AC designers use to determine the


amount of moi sture in the air and to provide solutions to des igners for
the ultimate comfort of bui lding occupants. It can be used to size air
handling un its; optim ize energy performance; identify control sensors
for building automation; describe the performance of cooling coi ls,
cooling towers, and humidification equipme nt; and evaluate heat recov-
ery strategies.
Yet the use of psychrometries and the psychrometric chart is differ-
ent from designer to designer. Some do not use the psychrometric chart,
relying instead on simp lified formulas or complex computer simula-
tions. Others use the chart onl y for special si tuations, such as indoor
swimming pool applications. And some use it as their primary system
evaluation tooL
This course is meant to cover all of these uses of the psychrometric
chart, to have something for all these different backgrounds, and to be
an introduction for the young designer who has yet to pick an approach.
The COUT::;e addresses the use of psychrome.trics and the psychrometric
chart fOT typical app li cations and systems and includes some theory.
This theory not on ly sets the basics but also gives students an apprecia-
tion of the si mp lification that the psychrometric chart provides. The
psychrometric chart gives a visual description of HVAC design, one
that could never be appreciated from fonnu las alone .
This second ed ition of the psychrometrics self-directed learn ing
(SOL) course was rewritten in an attempt to teach the fundamentals of
psychrometri cs in about half the time as the previous vers ion. The
author has used his 4 1 years of experience in the HV AC industry as the
expertise for the format and content.

Introduction to
Psychrometries

Study Objectives
After completing this chapter, you should be able to

o understand the basic processes of psychrometries,


o understand enthalpy and vo lumetric airflow, and
o understand the basic formulas of HV AC design.

Instructions
Read the materia l in Chapter I. At the end of the chapter, complete the ski ll
development exercises without referring to the text.

Introduction
Psychrometries is an analysis tool that HV AC engineers use to provide
solutions to comfort issues. These issues can be related to human comfort or
process comfort depending on the applications.
If the air surrounding us were totally dry, our job as HVAC engineers
would be vel)' easy and probab ly boring. But, because all air we work with
contains some amount of moi sture in the form of water vapor, our jobs get
more complex.
The four ba sic processes that an HV AC system can perform on moist air
are as follows:

Cooling- Lowering the air temperature


Heating- Raising the air tempera ture
Humidification- Rai sing the moi sture content in the air
Dehumidification- Lowering the moisture content in the air

Note that HV AC processes can also be a combination of the above four


basic actions. These combinations include the fo llow ing:

Heating and humidification- Increasing the temperature and moisture con-


tent of the air at the same time
2 Chapter I Introduction to Psychrometries

Heating and dehumidification- Increasing the temperature and decreas ing


the moisture content of the air at the sa me time
Cooling and humidification- Decreasing the temperature and increasing
the moi sture content of the air at the sa me time
Cooling and dehumid ifi cation- Decreasi ng the temperature and moisture
content of the ai r at the same time

These combination processes provide an infinite number of potential


actions. For example, consider the cool ing and dehumidification combination
process. We ha ve a solution that drops the temperature 25 degrees and only
drops the dew point (defined later) 1 degree. Another solution drops the tem-
perature 10 degrees and the dew point 10 degrees. So, there are thousands of
solutions with too many temperature and dew-point combinations to li st.

Enthalpy
We will use the property of the enthalpy of air throughout this course.
Enthalpy is the s um of the interna l energy or the total heat content of the ai r. In
other words, warm and humid air can have the same heat content as hot and dry
air. So the energy required to coo l wannlhumid air in the Gulf Reg ion of North
Ameri ca might be close to the energy required to cool hot/dry air in the South-
west deserts. Enthalpy h is subdi vided into the follow ing:

hda enthalpy of dry air at 0% relative humidity


hs enthalpy of saturated air or 100% relative humidi ty
has enthalpy d ifferences between hda and hs

Air Density
Elevation has an effect on psychrometric analyses. As elevation changes, so
does the ai r density. This means the constants used in equat ions will change
and different psychrometric charts (Chapter 3) are required for proper calcula-
tion.
For thi s course we will use sea level as atmospheric pressure for all calcula-
tions unless otherwise noted.

Volumetric Airflow versus Mass Flow Calculations


For easier understanding, we wi ll use vol umetric airflow in cubic feet per
minute (cfm) rather than mass flo w for our calculations throughout this course.
Standard air is defined as air at sea level or 29.92 in. Hg of barometric pres-
sure and 69.5 °F 'db' The density of air at sea level is 0.075 Ib/ft) .
The three equations we will use in our calculations are for sensible heat
(q,), the total heat required (q,), and latent heat (q,):

qs = 1.085 >< cfm >< (I) - (2) temperature (1·1 )


Fundamentals of Psychrometries (I-P), Second Edition 3

where the constant 1.085 is deri ved from the following:

0.075 Iblft3 x 0.24 Btullb ·oF x 60 mi nlh ~ 1.08

where 0.24 Btullb ·oF is the specific heat of air.

q, = 4.5 x cfm x (h. - "2) enthalpy (1-2)

where the constant 4.5 is deri ved from the following:

0.075 Ib!ft3 x 60 minlh ~ 4.5

qf=4840 x cfm x (W1 - W 2) humidity ratio (1-3)

where the constant 4840 is derived from the following:

0.075 Ib/ft3 x 1075 Btullb x 60 minlh ~ 4837.5 ~ 4840

where 1075 BtuJ1b is the enthalpy (h ) of air at 32°F for the evaporation of water
to vapor.

Introduction
This chapter define s the properties that an HV AC engineer uses to do psy-
chrometric analysis. The properties are temperature, humidity, enthalpy, and
specific volume.

Temperature
The temperatures we are concerned about in HV AC systems are the foll ow-
ing:

Dry-bulb temperature: The measure of the surrounding air temperature


with a standard thennometer in degrees Fahrenheit (OF) without infl uence
on the thennometer by heat sources or so lar heat gain.
Wet-bulb temperature; The measure of the moi st effect on the evapora-
tion process in the air. Using a standard dry-bulb thermometer, place a cot-
ton sock on the sensing portion. Next, soak the sock in amb ient-
temperature water and, by rotation, move surrounding air across the sock.
The temperature will drop below ambient because o f the evaporative or
cooling effect on the sensing bulb. It will continue to drop until most of the
water is evaporated into the surrounding ai r. This is the wet-bulb tempera-
ture and may also be called wet-bulb depression. Any further drying of the
sock will result in the temperature goi ng back up to the ambient dry-bulb
temperature.
6 Cha pte r 2 Properties of Moist Air

Dew-point temperature: The measure of the dry-bulb temperature at the


poi nt where water vapor starts to condense to liq uid or be removed from
the air. This is also referred to as the condensation point, because it is the
temperature at which the water turn s to liquid from vapor in the airstream.
Satu ration temperature: The temperature at which the air cannot hold
any add itional water vapor. At the saturation temperature, the dry-bulb,
wet-bulb, and dew-point temperatures are identical.

Humidity
Humidity is the moisture in the air. We can talk about it in two ways:

Humid ity r a tio: The actual weight in pounds of water vapor per pound of
dry air (lb)j lbda ). Note that in some HV AC psychrometric ca lculati ons you
may see grains of moisture per pound of dry air (gr/lbda ), with 7000 grains
equal to I lb. Either calculation will result in the same answer .
Relative hu m idity: The ac tual amount of moi sture in the air at a given dry-
bulb temperature versus the max imum amount of moisture in the air at the
same dry-bulb temperature. It is expressed in percentage because it is a par-
tial moisturelmax imum moisture ratio. At constant moisture content, as
soon as the dry-bulb temperature changes, so does the relative humid ity .

Enthalpy
The energy content of a ir is defin ed as the enthalpy of the air or the total
heat content of the air. It is expressed in British the nnal uni ts (B tu) per pound
of dry air (B tullbda ). Aga in, warmlhumid a ir can have the same enthalpy as
hot/dry air, so it takes the sa me amount of energy to cool e ither a irstream to a
comfortable condition.

Specific Volume
Specific vol ume is the cubic fee t per pound of dry air (ft 3/1bda ). It is the
inverse of air de nsity (lb/ft 3).
Note that spec ifi c vo lume changes as the dry-bulb temperature changes, but
not nearl y as much as it changes with the effect of higher altitude.

Using Appendix A
The table in Appendix A li sts thermodynamic properties of moist air at
14.696 psia. Fo r each dry-bulb temperature in of, we have values for the fol-
lowing:

Humidi ty ratio at saturation


Specific volume at dry, saturated, and differentia l cond itions
Specific enthalpy at dry, saturated, and di fferential conditions

In this chapter, you wi ll learn about the psychro metric chart and how to use
it in HV AC problems. You wi ll see how to construct and then use the psychro-
metric chart.
The psychrometric chart was developed by Wi llis Carrier in the early
1900s. It has been refined over time for more accuracy to provide better resu lts.
The chart conta ins seven important psychrometric variables, represented on the
chart by the following symbol s:

'db dry-bu lb temperature


'wb wet-bu lb temperature
tdp dew-point temperature
$ relative humidity
h enthalpy
W humidity ratio
v spec ific volume

Creating the Psychrometrie Chart


We wi ll now discuss how to construct the psychrometric chart and plot the
seven important properties on the chart. Using Figure 3-1 , start with the x-axis
(the horizontal line across the bottom) and plot dry-bulb temperatures on a lin-
ear scale from low on the right to high on the left.
12 Chapte r 3 Introduci ng t he Psychrometric C hart

Next we go to Appendix A and get the saturated humidity ratio Ws values


from 32°F to 120°F. Then, put the y-axis (the vertical line on the ri ght side) on
a linear scale from Iowan the bottom to high on the top.
We develop the saturation line (the heavy dark curve shown in Figure 3-1)
by the intersection of the Ws value and the vertica l dry-bulb line. Remember,
the dry-bulb, wet-bu lb, and dew-point temperatures are eq ual on the saturat ion
line. Lines of constant humi dity ratio are all horizontal.
Figure 3-2 shows that the dew-point temperature is where the dry-bulb tem-
perature intersects the saturation line. A line of constant dew point goes hori-
zontall y on the psychrometri c chart.
Go ing to Figure 3-3, we can get the value of the enthalpy at saturation (h s )
and again plot that va lue on the saturation line for that dry-bulb temperature.
To find the other end of the enthalpy line, we simply take the hs value and
go to Appendix A and look fo r a very close value in the hda column. Once we
find it, that dry-bu lb temperature is the intersection point for that enthalpy li ne
with the x-axis.
For example, 60°F db has a value of26.4 Btu/lb, so we plot thi s value at the
60°F saturation temperature. We go to Appendix A and search for a value of
26.4 Btullb in the hda co lumn and find it at 100°F db. Those two points estab-
li sh the 26.4 Btullbda enthalpy line. Lines of constant enthalpy are sloped and
are soli d dark.

Figure 3-3 also shows that li nes of constant wet-bulb temperature are
almost parallcl to lines of constan t enthalpy. Lines of constant wet-bulb tem-
perature are sloped and dotted, as shown in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4 shows speci fic vo lume lines. We plot them by going to Appen-
d ix A and, at a given saturation temperature, getting the Vs value and inserting
it on the saturation line. Then we look at the table for the same value at a higher
temperature, and that is the x-axis intersection point for the oth er end of the
specific volume line.

Finding Seven Psychrometric Quantities


The psychrometric chart shown in Figure 3-4 is sufficient to provide imme-
diate and comp lete characteristics of a moist air parcel, even if only a small
amount ofinfonnation is known about that parcel. More specifically, ifany two
of the seven important psychrometric variables (tdb, 'dp' 'wb, q" h, v, It) of a
moi st air sample are given (for a specific barometric pressure), then all of the
remaining ones can be determ ined immediately fro m the chart.

Example 3-1

Problem Given a sample of air whe re {db = 70°F and ~ = 60% rh, determ ine its dew
point.

Solution Using Figure 3-4, the location point is at the intersection of the conditions
stated in the problem. Moving to the left in a straight li ne indicates that the sat-
uration curve is crossed at a temperature of 55°F. This is the dew-point tem-
perature.

Example 3-2

Problem What is the enthalpy of the 70°F and 60% rh parcel of air from Example 3-1?

Solution Again using Figure 3-4, the locat ion point is the same. Following the line of
constant enthalpy up the enthalpy scale reveals that the enthalpy of this point is
27.0 BtuJlbdG'

Example 3-3

Problem Find the wet-bulb temperature for the point in Example 3- 1.

Solution Again using Fig ure 3-4, fo ll ow the constant wet-bulb line to the saturation line,
then drop stra ight down to read a temperature of6 1OF, the wet-bulb temperature.

Example 3-4

Problem Use Figure 3-4 to find the speci fi c volume of 'db ~ 70' F and $ ~ 60% rho

Solution Finding this point on Figure 3-4 reveals that it is located between the values of
13.5 and 14.0 for specific volume. Further inspection of the figure ind icates
that there are more li nes of constant spec ific volume that are unmarked. It
appears that each of these represents an increase of 0.1 ft 3/lbdu . Therefore, it
can be determined that the intersection is a specific volume of 13.55 ft3 /1bdcl'

Example 3-5

Problem Using the psychrometric chart in Figure 3-4, find the /db' Idp' Iwb. <p. and humid-
ity ratio W of a parcel of air that has a specific volume of 13.9 ftllb da and an
entha lpy of 30 BtuJlbda .
Solution Idb = 84°F, ldp = 54.3°F, ' wb = 65 °F, IP = 37% rh , W = 0.009 Ibl/1\J lbda

Notice that the dew point and relati ve humidity both needed interpolation.
There are many methods of interpolation. Most engineers simply "eyeball "
interpolate by doing a visual scaling between the lines of the chart. There is an
art to this that is learned by practice, but results in error by less than ± I % can
be achieved.

Climatic Design Information


Outdoor weather conditions ha ve a lot to do with the air conditioning and
heating processes described in this book. Climatic design information for the
United States, Ca nada, and other countries is provided in Appendix C.
For our examples, we will use the "2%" column under the "Cooling OBI
MCWS" heading in Appendix C as our design conditions. This means that
only 2% of the tota l hours, in an ave rage year, are above the li sted dry-bulb
temperature. Note that co lumns for 0.4% and 1% of the time are also shown.
Us ing a blank psychrometric chart and Appendix C, plot the outdoor
design conditions (tdb and mean coincident wet-bulb temperature) for summer
in the following cities (labe l them). You will use these outdoor design points as
we go further into this course.

Psychrometric Chart for


Extended Temperature and Altitude
The psychrometric chart in Figure 3-4 is for sea level and nonnal tempera-
tures (32°F db to 120°F db). It is availab le from ASHRAE as Psychrometric
Chart No. I.
Psychrometric charts are availab le at 5000 ft and 7500 ft elevations (Charts
No. 4 and No.5), at low temperatures of -40oF to 50°F (sea level, Chart No.2),
and at hi gh temperatures of 60°F to 250°F (sea level, Chart No.3).
If you do work at these elevations and temperature ranges, please use the
appropriate charts. Also, do not forget to correct the sensible heat formula,
enthalpy formu la, and humidity ratio formu la constants for air density changes
using the equations included at the end of Chapter 1.

The Power of the Psychrometric Chart


This chapter applies the processes discussed in Chapter 2 and the proper-
ties of moist air d iscussed in Chapter 3 to the psyc hrometric chart. But before
we start, we must first define two processes, sensible heat transfer and latent
heat transfer.
Sensib le heat transfer (qs) is changing only the dry-bulb temperature of the
air and can be sensible coo li ng (lowering the temperature) or sensible heating
(ra ising the temperature). On the psychrometric chart, it is pure hori zontal
movement, right to left or left to right only. We can use the following equation
for sensibl e heat change at sea level:

q, (Btulh) ~ 1.085 x cfm x (II - I,) (4-1)

where cfm is the airflow in cubic feet per minute, '] is the initial temperature,
and '2 is the final temperature.
Latent heat transfer (q,) is changing only the moisture content of the air or
changing only the humidity ratio of the air. It is vert ical-only movement on the
psychrometric chart , top to bottom or bottom to top only. We can use the fol-
lowing equation for latent heat change at sea level:

(4-2)
22 Cha pte r 4 Air-Conditioning Processes on tne Psychrometric Chart

where cfm is the airflow in cubic feet per minute, WI is the init ial hum idity
ratio, and W2 is the final humidity ratio.

Sensible Cooling
We will first show the air conditioning process of sensib le coo ling. It is a
horizontal process on the psychrometric chart, moving from the ri ght to left.
For example, our entering temperature (D is at lOO°F db, = 10% rh, and we
coo l the air to 60°F db as shown in Figure 4- 1. The leaving 12 is at 60°F db and
4> = 37% rho Note the humid ity ratio of W = 0.004 did not change.
If we app ly our examp le cfm of 5000 to the problem, then

q, ~ 1.085 x cfm x (I, - 12)


~ 1.085 x 5000 cfm x (I OO' F - 60' F)
~ 1.085 x 5000 x (40) ~ 217,000 Btulh cooling

Sensible Heating
Next we wi ll review the air-conditioning process of sensible heating . It is
also a horizontal process on the psychrometric chart, but from left to right. In
this example, our entering temperature (D is 70°F db, 4> = 5 1% rh , and we heat
the air to 110°F db as shown in Figure 4-2. The leaving 12 is 110°F db and 4> =
14% rho Note the humid ity ratio of W = 0.008 did not change.

If we apply our example cfm of 5000 to our sensible heat equation, then

q, ~ 1.085 x cfm x (i, - /2)


~ 1.085 x 5000 cfm x (70°F - 110°F)
~ 1.085 x 5000 x (40) ~2 1 7, 000 Btulh heating

Latent Heat Addition


The addition of latent heat, or the add ition of moisture content to air, is the
next area of focus. It is a vert ica l movement, from bottom to top of the psy-
chrometric chart. For example, the entering conditions of (db = 80°F and 4> =
18% rh have a W = 0.004 humidity ratio. The leaving conditions of 'db = 80°F
and 4> = 55% rh have a humid ity ratio of W = 0.012 , and the dry-bulb tempera-
ture did not change, as shown in Figure 4-3. The latent heat req uired with our
example of 5000 cfm can be calculated as fo llows:

ql ~ 4840 x cfm x (W t - W2)


~ 4840 x 5000 cfm x (0.004 - 0.01 2)
~ 4840 x 5000 x (0.008) ~ 193,600 Btulh

Latent Heat Removal


The remova I of latent heat, or the lowering of moisture content to air, is the
process shown in Figure 4-4. The entering conditions of tdb = 75°F and q. =
70% rh have a W = 0.01 3 humidity ratio. We remove moisture to the leaving

conditions of tdb = 75° F and q. = 17% rh, which have a humidity ratio of W =
0.003. The latent heat removed with our exa mpl e o f 5000 cfm is as foll ows:

q, ~ 4840 x cfm x ( WI - Wz)


~ 4840 x 5000 cfm x (0.0 13 - 0.003)
~ 4840 x 5000 x (0.0 10) ~ 242 ,00 0 Blu/h

It should be noted at thi s time that th e processes shown in both Figures 4-3
and 4-4 are nearly impossible to do in the real world o f HV AC as stand-alone
processes. When we humid ify the air, we generall y have to add heat to the air,
even if not desired (steam humidi fi er). When we d ehumidi fy the air, we need
to coo l the air dry-bu lb temperature bel ow the ente ring dew-po int temperature
to start the moisture removal process, so we end up with cooled and dehumidi-
fi ed air.

Total Heat Content


We will now di sc uss the four ai r-conditioning processes that are combina-
tions of two simple processes. For these combination processes, we use the
enthalpy equatio n to get the total heat requ ired (qt) at sea level:

(4-3)

where cfin is the airflo w in cubi c fe et per minute, h) is the initial enthalpy, and
h2 is the fin al enthalpy.
Let us start with the coo ling and dehumid ify in g process, because it is the
most common in the HVAC industry. Movement on the psychrometric chart is
to the left (sensible) and down (l aten t) fro m the initial conditi on. See Fi gure 4-5
fo r the actual m ovement of the air.
Also, note that a gradual slope indi cates a more sensible than latent load,
but a steeper s lope shows a more latent than sensible load. The following
example will explain thi s comb inatio n process.
The entering conditions to our co oling co il are 80°F db and 65 °F wb, with
hi = 30. The ai r is cooled and dehumidifi ed all the way down to 54°F db and
53°F wb with h2 = 22. We can find the total heat required by using our new
equation with our exa mple of 5000 cfm:

q, ~ 4. 5 x cfm x (h I - hz)
~ 4. 5 x 5000 cfm x (30 - 22)
~ 4.5 x 5000 x (S) ~ ISO,OOO Blu/ h

We can get the same answer by using the indi vidual sensi ble and latent heat
eq uati ons:

qs = 1.085 x cfm x (1) - 12)


~ 1.085 x 5000 cfm x (80°F - 54 OF)
~ 1.085 x 5000 x (2 6) ~ 14 1,050 Blu/h

Cooling and Humidifying


Cooling and hum idify ing is most easi ly explained with the process ofevap-
orative cooling. Because evaporative coo ling is a constant wet-bulb or adia-
batic r.;ooling process, the lola l heal or enthalpy eq uation dues nut wurk. The
cooli ng of the air at dry-bu lb temperature is done by the fact that the water in
the liquid form is evaporated to water vapor. See Figure 4-7 for an example,
and note that the movement on the psychrometric chart is to the left (sensible)
and upward (latent) to complete the process.
Our inlet co nd itions to the evaporative cooler are 100°F db and $ = I 0% rh,
resulting in a 63°F wb. We move upward and left on the 60°F wet-bulb li ne the

distance our evaporati ve media will provide. Our outlet cond itions will be
66°F db, 63°F wb, and ~ =85% rh. Note that we have dropped the dry-bulb
temperature from 100°F to 66°F by using only water. At our 5000 cfm exam-
ple, we are able to obta in a sensible coo ling of

qs = 1.085 x cfm x (1 1 - 12)


~ 1.085 x 5000 cfm x (I OO°F - 66°F)
~ 1.085 x 5000 x (34) ~ 184,450 Btulh

So, how much water do we use in the evaporative process? We can use a
new equation to calculate the water usage in pounds of water per hour;

Ib,jh ~ cfm x Il v x (WI - W2) x 60


~ 5000 ft3/min x 1/1 3.5 ft 3/1bda

~ 169

Evaporative cooli ng should always be an option if you are doing a project


in the hot/dry climates of the world.

Heating and Humidifying


Heating and humidifying is a combination process that is frequently seen in
the HV AC industry when it is desirable to attempt to maintain a space at or
above a minimum rel ative humidity setpoint. The movement on the psychro-

In our exampl e, we have an airstream at 65°F db and ~ = 20% rh, with
5000 cfm at sea level. We want to maintain a room at 75°F db and ~ = 50% rh .
We can use our equat ion from the evaporative cooling example to sol ve for the
pounds of water per hour needed to increase the re lative humidity of thi s air-
stream .

So, we can select a steam humidifi er to provide a mmimum output of


l47lbll'/h to keep our space at up to 50% relati ve humidity.
We can also calcu late the energy required to complete thi s process with the
total heat equation and the enthalpy at the entering and room conditions;

~ 4.5 x 5000 x (9.3) ~ 209,250 Btulh

Another way to get thi s an swer is to break the problem into the sensibl e
portion and the latent portion. Th e sen sible portion is easy, 65 °F db to
75 °F db, or:

q, ~ 1.085 x cfm x (I, - '2)


~ 1.085 x 5000 cfm x (65 °F - 75°F)
~ 54,250 Btulh

For the latent portion , we need to go to Appendix D and look at the thermo-
dynamic properties of water at saturation, or steam, tables. In the left-hand col-
umn, find 65°F temperature and fo ll ow that to the right until you get to the
column labeled " Evap. hi/ hfg " under the "Specific Enthalpy" heading and get
1056.5 Btu/lbw' The steam will reach equilibrium at 65 °F db soon after inj ec-
t ion into the airstream . Because we know the pounds of water per hour of the
humidifier, the latent portion is

q, ~ 1471b",ih x 1056.5 Btu/ lb",


~ 155,306 Btu/h
30 Cha pte r 4 Air-Conditioning Processes on tne Psychrometric Chart

Now we add the sensible and latent portions together:

qs+ q{ = q,
~ 54,250 + 155,306
~ 209,556 Btulh

which is close to 209,250 Btu/h.


Remember, we are eyeballing a ll these values from the psychrometric
chart, so the actual va lues may be off ± ! %.

Dehumidification and Heating


The last comb ination process is dehumidification and heating, or dehumid-
ification by desiccant moisture absorption. The desiccant material (contained
in a wheel) is either rotated through the airstream or sprayed into the airstream
and coll ected in a pan at the bouom.
The other portion of the desiccant cycle is the regeneration process that
heats up the desiccant to drive off the moi sture to the atmosphere and start the
cycle over again. The process is shown in Figure 4-9 and has movement to the
right and the bottom of the psychrometric chart.
For our examp le, we have our in let conditions of 80°F db and ~ = 27%. rh,
which gives a dew-point temperature of 42°F and whi ch a mechanical vapor
compression refrige ration can easily reach.

However, our leaving conditions require a dew-point temperature of 26°F,


less than freezing (32°F), so mechanical coo ling will not work.
Our leaving conditions with desiccant dehumidification are 96°F db and

Note that these conditions are somethi ng you may not see in normal human

Schematic of an Air-Conditioning System


To understand what an air· conditioning system is or what components it
has, it is best to look firs t al the room, or space, th at it is to serve. This space is
to be occupied and maintained at some psychrometric conditi on (ldb and ~).
This stale is called the room des;gn condition. This condition of temperature
and humidity is being constantly defeated by heat fl owing through the building
envelope , coming in or go ing out. Furthennore, it is being changed by the
activities happe ning in side. Occupants are providing heat and moisture to the
space. There are machines and li ghts that tran sfer heat to the space as a byprod-
uct of their operat ion. There may be things that are cooling the room, and there
are things that are adding humidi ty to the room. These tend to change the inte-
rior room conditi ons. It is the purpose of the air-conditioning system to offset
these changes by conditioning the room air to maintain the room at the desired
condition.
To do thi s, some air is taken out of the room, conditioned, and returned
back to the space, Thi s is done as depicted in the layout o f a typical air-condi-
tioning system shown in Figure 5-1 .

Mixing Airstreams-Cooling Systems


The mixing of two airstream s is common in HVAC systems to ensure the
proper ventilati on amount in the occupi ed space . This involves mixing an

amount (fi xed o r variable) of outdoor a ir with a di.fferent amount of return or


room ai r 10 mee t the ventilation code in your local area.
First. we wi ll look at summer design conditions for a cooling applicati on.
Assume our room des ign is 'db = 75°F and ~ = 50% rh , wi th an air outdoor
design temperature of Idb = 95°F and ' lI'b = 75°F. Sec the psychrometric chart in
Figure 5-2 for the plotted conditions.
Fundamentals of Psychrometries (I-P), Second Edition 37

Next, we draw a straight line between these two plotted points on the psy-
chrometric chart. Our mixed condition will always be on this stra ight line. We
can locate the exact location by using the following formu la:

(5-1)

where
Ima dIY-bu lb temperature of mixed air
cfmoa volume of outdoor air
temperature of outdoor air
volume of return air
temperature of return air
volume of suppl y ai r

Also, assume our HVAC system has a supply air volume (cfmsa) of 10,000
cfm and a ventilation or outdoor air vo lume (cfmoa) of2000 cfm. Th is means
the return or room ai r vo lume (cfmm ) is the difference between the supply ai r
volume and the return air vo lume, or

(5-2)

In our examp le, then,

10,000 cfrnSfJ = 2000 cfm nQ + 8000 cfmm

Then, our mixed-air dIY bu lb temperature is

lum ~ [2000 cfmoo (95 °F) + 8000 cfm m (75 °F)] / 10,000 cfm,"
~ [190,000 + 600,000]11 0,000
~ 79°F Idb

Now go back to the psychrometric chart in Figure 5-2 and plot the mixed-
air condition on thi s straight line at the intersection with the 79°F dIY-bulb line
marked MA. So our mixed-air conditions for these two ai rstreams are tdb =
79°F and ' wb = 65°F. This is an importan t item to know because the cooling
coil will be sized using this cond ition as the enteri ng air to this heat exchanger.

Mixing Airstreams-Heating Systems


Now we wi ll look at the same example in the wi nter heating mode. Assume
a room design of tdb = 70°F and ~ = 40% rh with a ir outdoor design tempera-
ture of tdb = 32° F and ~ = 50% rho See Figure 5-2 for the plotted conditions.
We will again plot both points on our psychrometric chart, as shown in Fig-
ure 5-3, and connect these points wi th a new straig ht line. Usi ng the same for-
mula from the Mixing Airstreams- Cooling Systems section with different
temperatures and the same vo lume, we get:
38 Cha pte r 5 HVAC Design and t he Psychrometric Chart

IlIIa = [cfmoa (too) + cfm ra (tra)] !cfmsa


~ [2000 cfm (32' F) + 8000 cfm (70' F)] /10,000 cfm
~ [64,000 + 560,000 ]110,000
~ 62.4' F

Go back to the psychrometric chart in Figure 5-3 and plot this heating
mixed-air condition on the straight line at the intersection with the 62.4°F dry-
bulb temperature line. Thi s re sults in a mixi ng of these two airstreams at tdb =
62.4°F and ' wb = 51 °F. This will be the entering air condition for the heating
coil used in our system.
One spec ial note on heati ng mixed airstreams is that we need only the dry-
bulb temperature to select our heali.ng coil or heat exchanger. The wet-bulb
temperature becomes important only i f humidification is needed in the HVAC
system servi ng thi s area.

Sensible Heat Ratio-Cooling


Sensib le heat rat io (SHR) is a very important concept in HV AC psychro-
metric analysis. With the proper use ofSHR, we wi ll ensure that both the room
dry-bulb temperature and room re lative humidity are met in our design. It wi ll
ensure our room supply air dry-bulb temperature and relative hum idity are cold
and dry enough to achieve the room design conditions. Fail ure to do a proper
SHR analysis could result in not meeting one or both of the room design
parameters. Here 's an example to explain the concept.

For our examp le, we will use a space with a sensible heat gain of
80,000 Btuth and a latent heat gain of 20,000 Btu/h, for a total load of
100,000 Btulh. Our room SHR is

SHR 80,000 0. 8
100,000

We plot the rool11 cond itions of 1db = 75°F and q. = 50% rh on a psychromet-
ric chart as shown in Figure 5-4. Then we draw a li ne from the center score
mark to the value of 0.8 on the left side of the half circle . This is now our SHR
slope line. Next we transfer it from the upper left corner to the room conditions
on the chart. Please make sure the slope of th is line is exactly the same as you
plotted it.
Note that any air condition along the SHR line will meet our room design
conditions of tdb = 75°F and ~ = 50% rho These air conditions are the leaving
air temperature off the cooling co il in the air handler. The only thing that
changes on these varying leaving air temperatures is the volume. To solve the
problem, we go to the sensible heat equation discussed in Chapter 4:

q, ~ 1.085 x cfm x (II - /2)

We plot the intersection of the SHR line and a condition around 90% rh to
the left of the room cond ition in Figure 5-4. We have selected a leaving air tem-
perature of tdh = 55°F and ~ = 87% rh as the desired cooling coi l leaving air
temperature. It is best pract ice to contact a cooling coil manufacturer (or run

that would perform to these conditions with a volu me of

q, = 1.085 x cfm x (II - 12)


80,000 = 1.085 x cfm x (75°F - 55°F)
cfm = 80,000 = 3690
1.085 x 20

So, our cooling coil needs to provide a leaving air temperature of 'db = 55°F
and $ = 87% rh at our entering air temperature of ' db = 75 °F and $ = 50% rh o
with 3690 cfm of airflow through the coi l.
We could also have picked a leaving air temperature of Idb = 60°F and $ =
76% rh , resulting in an volume of

q, = 1.085 x cfm x (II - 12)


80,000 = 1.085 x cfm x (75°F - 60°F)
cfm = 80,000 = 4915
1.085 x 15

We mayor may not have bee n able to find a cooling coil to perform this
duty, because the leaving relative humidity is not close to 90%. Coils that
dehumidify ty pically have a leaving relative humidity close to 90%.
By providing Ihis supply air quantity (cfm), supply air dry-bulb lempera-
ture, and relativ e humidity. we wi ll e nsure that our room des ign conditions are
satisfied.

Sensible Heat Ratio-Cooling with Outdoor Air


This section covers the psychrome tric process that is added to the SHR pro-
cess to account for the outdoor air (ventilation air) in ou r HVAC system.
We will use the same outdoor air design conditions of Idb = 95°F and ' \Vb =
75 °F and 20% outdoor air from our example of the Mixing Airstreams- Cool -
ing Systems section. We plot all the conditions on our psychrometric chart as
shown in Figure 5-5. The mixed-air conditions are Idb = 79°F and ' wb = 65°F
from our calculation of supply air as 3690 cfm with the values from the previ-
ous example of outdoor air as 738 cfm and return air as 2952 cfm.

til/a = [cfm oo (foa) + cfmra {fra)] /c fm sa


= [738 cfm (95°F) + 2952 cfm (75 °F) ]/3690 cfm
= [70, \I 0 + 221 ,900)13690 cfm
= [291 ,510[ /3690 cfm
= 79°F 'db

Again , go (0 the ' db = 79"F scale on the psychrometric chart and go up until
you intersect the mixed-air line. That is our entering air condition to the cool-
ing coil, fdb = 79"F and ' wb = 65"F. We still need to cool the air down to ' lI'b =

q, = 4.5 x cfm x (hi - h2 )


~ 4.5 x 3690 cfm x (8 Btullb)
~ 132,840 Btulh

Note the increased coo ling requirement due to the addition of outdoor air
into the HV AC system. The room total load was 100,000 Btu/h and the outdoor
air is an additional 40,000 Btulh total. We can also calculate the room-only coil
load with the same tota l heat equation:

q, ~ 4.5 x cfm x (h, - h2)


~ 4.5 x 3690 cfm x (28 - 22)
~ 4.5 x 3690 cfm x (6.0 Btullb)
~ 99,630 Btulh

Notice that t hi s is not exact ly the same as the 100,000 Btulh tota l heat gai n,
but it is very close and within acceptable tolerance for HV AC calculations.

This section uses the same HVA C system we've been discussing to show
how to hand le the heating requirements of our space. The air ha ndler has the

the heating coil has been increased to approxi mately ldb = 96°F to account for
the temperature drop the humidi fied air will cause, as shown in Figure 5-7.
The amount of water vapor that must be added to the airstream is calculated
based on an entering air Ofldb = 62.4° F and $ = 44% rh with a humidity ratio of

o show the components of an air-handling unit and their psychrometric pro-

The Air-Handling Unit:


Heart of the Commercial Air-Conditioning System
In Chapter 5, psychrometrie s was used to determ ine the technical charac-
teristics of the a ir-conditioning system required to perform a specific function .
Psychrometries was used to convert thi s information into the necessary volume
and s upp ly air conditions for both heating and cooling. These conditions not
only determined the capacity of the unit in Btu/ h but also spec ifi ed the amount
of dehumidification and humidification by determining the entering and leav-
ing dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures for both the heating and cooli ng coils.
A manufacturer will usua ll y package all (or most) of the components of an
HVA C system into one large enclosure called an air-handling unit (AHU).
AHUs (Figure 6-1) are almost custom-made for every design because the com-
ponents are selected from an extensive li st of ava ila ble sizes and capabilities to
match the speci fi c application. So that the AHU manufacturer can deli ver the
proper unit for the application , the design engineer must provide a ll of the nec-
essary information.

Psychrometries of a Cooling Coil


Let 's start th is di scussion on what actually happens in a dehumidi fying
cooli ng coil as the air goes through it. The entering side of the coi l is warmer
than the leaving side of the coil. Therefore, the first few rows o f the cooli ng

coil li ne. Note! it is horizontal and moving to the left side of the psychrometric
chart.
As the air moves further into the coi l, the dehumidification process is start-
ing as the cooling co il starts curv ing downward and to the left. The maximum
dehumidification occurs just before the air exits the coi l and generall y leaves
the coil around $ = 90% rh. Again, refer to Figure 6-2 to see the fina l curve
showing the completed dehum idi fi cation and cooling process.
Fundamentals of Psychrometries (I-P), Second Edition 49

Assume a fan cfm of 3690, entering conditions of tdb = 82°F and ' \Vb = 67°F
(with outdoor air mixed), and desired leaving conditions of tdb = 52°F and
approximately q, = 90% rhoNow we can calculate the total cooling capacity of
the coo ing coil w ith the tota l heat equation discussed in Chapter 4:

q, = 4.5 x cfm x (11 1 - h2 )


~ 4.5 x 3690 x (31.9 - 20.4 Btullb)
~ 190,950 Btulh

We can now plot the coo li ng co il performance on the psychrometric chart


as shown in Figure 6-2. We can see the total heat is broken down into a sensible
component and a latent component, as also shown in Figure 6-2.
Again , the HV AC engineer must provide the above infonnation to the man-
ufacturer of the coo ling co il s so they can provide an actual selection of either a
chilled-water coi l or a direct expansion (DX) refrigerant co il. Their output
would include the size, height, width, number of coil rows, pressure drop (ai r
pressure and water pre ssure, if a chilled-water coil), chill ed-water temperature
rise (you must supply the enteri ng chilled-water temperature), and the actual
leaving air conditions.

Psychrometries of Fan Heat


As a fan moves air through an HVAC system, the fan input energy is con-
verted to heat as a result of the heat of compression. A ll the fan input energy
ends up as heat as the fan increases the air pressure to provide air motion.
Say, for example, a fan requires 10 bhp to move 10,000 cfm against of3 in.
of water of total pressure . We use two conversion factors to deri ve the actual
heat in British thermal units per hour (B tu/ h) added to the airstream:

1 bhp ~ 746 W or 0.746 kW


1 kW ~ 3413 Btulh

So, in this example, we can convert 10 bhp to BtuIh of fan heat as follows:

10 bh x 0.746 kW ~ 7.46 kW
P bhD

and

7.46 kW x 34 13 B,ulh ~ 25,46 1 Btulh


kW

Because the fan is movi ng 10,000 cfm, we can use the sensibl e heat equa-
tion discussed in Chapter 4 to ca lculate the actual temperatures:

qs = 1.085 x cfm x (/1 - 12)


25,46 1 B,ulh ~ 1.085 x 10,000 cfm x (I, - '2)
(II - ( 2) = 2.3°F temperature rise
50 Chapter 6 Psychrometries in HVAC Eq ui pment

So, we have the add ition of 2.3 °F fan heat to account for in our psychro-
metri c ana lysis.
Fan heat is the addition of sensible heat, horizontal moving to the ri ght on
the psychrometr ic chart, either before the cooling coil (blow-through fan ) or
aft er the cooli ng coil (draw-through fan). Be careful with draw-through fa ns,
because with these fans the fan leaving air temperature is hi gher than the cool-
ing coil1 eaving air temperature . It is an additional load that must be accounted
fo r in cooling heat gain ca lculations.
ASHRA E Handbook- Fundamentals (20 13) gi ves a general estimate of fan
heal as approximately O. 5°F per inch o r total fan press ure. In this example we
calculated a li ttle over 2°F, while thi s general estimate would h ave given us
1.5°F. Therefore , it is better to perfonn the calculations.

Psychrometries of a Heating Coil


The process of heating air is a sensible-heating -only psychrometric prob-
lem, whi ch means that the poi nt moves from left to right horizontally across
the psychrometr ic chart.
This examp le aga in uses 3690 cfm airflow and the entering cond itions to
the hot water coil of ' db = 60°F and approx imately $ = 30% rh (with outdoor air
mixed) and a leaving condition of ' db = 95°F. See F igure 6-3 for the process of
heating and use the follo wing equation :

q, ~ 1.085 x cfm x (I, - '2)


~ 1.085 x 3690 x (60' F - 95' F)
~ 1.085 x 3690 x (35' F)
~ 140, 128 Btu/ h

Even if you forget that the process is sensible heating only, using the total
heat equation d iscussed in Chapter 4 will give you the same result as shown
be low:

ql~ 4. 5 x c fm x (11 , - 112)


~ 4. 5 x 3690 x (2 6. 5 - 18)
~ 141 , 143 Btulh

Humidification Equipment
Humidifi cation equipment can be di vided into two groups: I) isothennal or
constant temperature and 2) adiabat ic or moisture evaporating (see Figure 6-4).
Isothennal humidifi cation genemll y in vul vt::s steam humidifiers, with many
ways of steam generation, and addition of mo isture to an airstream at a con-
stant temperature.
Adiabatic humid ifi cation is mo isture evaporat ing and involves sprayed,
atomized, medi a, or ultrasonic humidifi ers. These humidifi ers lower the air
temperature as they add mo isture to th e airstream and are the same as evapora-
tive coolers .

Constant-Volume and Variable-Air-Volume Systems


This chapte r covers the major types of HVAC air systems. They can be
divided into two major types : I) constant-vo lume, variabl e air temperature and
2) vari able-aiT-volume, constant air te mperature.
Constant-volume systems de liver the same volu me, or efm, at all load con-
ditions and change the supp ly air dry-bulb temperature as the load changes.
The load changes as the time of day changes, as the time o f year changes, as
the occupancy changes, as the interna l loads change, and as the solar load
changes. The room thermostat senses these changes in load and adjusts the
supply air temperature accordingly to main tain the room at a constant tempera-
ture.
In a chill ed-water coo ling, constant- volume ai r handler, the chilled-water
coil has a contro l val ve, controlled by the room thermostat to vary the supply
air temperature. This type of system can provide acceptable comfort because
there is an infinite number of chi lled -water va lve positions to match the large
number of load conditions.
In a direct expansion (OX) system, w hich has refrigerant in direct contact
with the cooling coi l tubes, there are typically steps or stages of cooling capac-
ity. This causes the supply air temperature to be delivered at a set temperature
between the design temperature and a few part-load temperatures. The room
thermostat must have multiple stages so it ca n bring on additional capacity if
the room temperature ri ses or remove capac ity if the room temperature drops.
58 Chapter 7 Psychrometries in Zoned HVAC Systems

This causes a compromise in room temperature control, as the setpoi nt is


almost never met; the room temperature actual ly flu ctuates around the setpoint ,
approxi mately ± 1.0°F or ±1.s oF. In most cases, this fl uctuation in room tem-
peratu res can sti ll provide an acce ptable comfort level, but not one as good as a
chi lled-water system.
Note that some newer styles of DX systems have variable-refrigerant-flo w
capacity, w hich ca n provide a greater level of comfort in the room . These sys-
tems can better match the refrigerant fl ow req uired to handle the room 's load
variations, thus providing better comfort than stepped OX systems.
Variable-air-volume (V A V) systems deliver a variable amount of volume ,
or cfm, at all load conditions at a constant supply air dry-bulb temperature ,
Agai n, the load changes with the fi ve variables mentioned above, The room
thermostat senses these load changes and adjusts the quantity of air delivered
to the s pace so the room a ir temperature re mains constant. Note that all VA V
systems do a very good job of part-load room humid ity control, as the main air
hand ler cools and dehumidifies the air at all load co nditions to a consta nt dew-
pOint temperatu re.
In most cases. with modern ai r-handli ng systems, the a ir vo lume (cfm) is
changed with a variable-frequency drive (V FO) wired to the electric fan motor.
Because input frequency determines the s peed of rotation in induction electric
moto rs as the load changes, the V FO frequency output matches the cfm
reqUired by adjusting the fan s peed.
VA V air hand lers can have chilled -water or OX cooling coils installed in
them . With chilled water, the chilled-water control valve is infinitely variable
and can be controlled to mai ntain a constant supply air temperature as the ai r
vo lume goes up and dow n in response to load changes . W ith OX cooling coils,
the supply air temperature changes in stages, up and dow n, as the load changes
and the airflow increases or decreases. Again , eve n with stages, you can still
obtain acceptable room com fa n .
One fi nal point: you can use many small fan -coils to provid e a lot of zone
control in a large bu ild ing. but each fan -coil is a constant-volume , sing le-zone
subsystem .

Constant-Volume, Single-Zone System


Constant-volume, Single-zone systems are the most commonly used in
H V AC and come in many fo rms. They include Sin gle-zone air-handling room
fan -coils, packaged DX sing le-zone rooftop systems, and residential split sys-
tems, to name a few. T hey have one common trait: the unit is controlled by one
roomtitermoslal only. T herefore, they G HI be applied to only one zone allll pro-
vide room comfort to on ly one zone.
A zone, by definition, has like occupancy and like thermal characteristics
bu t does not have a defi ned size. For example, a large interior cubical offi ce
area could be a zone as large as 5000 ft2 if the densit1' and usage are uniform
throug hout. It cou ld also be a zone as small as 150 ft with a row of exterior.

Figure 7-1 Psychrometries of single-zone system at full load.

The psychrometric chart of a single-zone system is determined by the


room 's sensibl e and latent loads, the room's sensibl e heat ratio (S HR), and
either the quantity of outdoor air needed or the code-required venti lation rate.
It is shown at full load in Figure 7-1. In all examples in this chapter, we will
use room design cond itions of tdb = 75°F and $ = 50% rh and 20% outdoor ai r
for ventilation.
Next, look at the psychrometric chart in Figure 7-2 for part-load operation.
The part-load s upply air temperature is higher than the design temperature
because the room thermostat is ca lling for less cooling. Depending on the part-
load SHR, the room relati ve humidity may not be met at this part-load condi-
tion. So you must determ ine if thi s deviation above the design ¢l = 50% rh is
acceptable. Also note that the mixed-air condition will usually change to a
lower value , as the outdoor air will typically be lower at part-l oad cond itions.

Constant-Volume, Single-Zone System with Reheat


Constant-volume, single-zone systems with reheat are used when we need to
control the room relative humidity at all load l:Ondilions. The con trol is simple;
the cooling coil supply air dry-bulb temperature is set to a constant leaving tem-
perature. Therefore, the supply air is dehumidified regardless of the room part-
load conditions. The supply air is reheated purely to satisfy the room thermostat.
It should be noted that thi s type of system is an expensive one to operate, as
we pay to cool and dehumidify the supply air and then pay again to warm up,
or reheat, the same airstream. If you are forced to provide thi s de sign in a sys-

tern , you shou ld look for ways to use recovered energy to provide the reheat.
Recovered energy sources could be condenser heat from the cooling syste m,
such as a heat recovery chiller or condenser reheat plus sensible heat recovery
from exhaust or return airstreams, among others.
The psychrometric chart for this system is shown in Figure 7-3 at part-load
conditions. Note that even with a SHR of less than the design SHR, we can
meet the room re lative humidity condition. The psychrometries of this system
at fuHload are exact ly the same as shown in Figure 7-1 because, at full load,
we are not doing any reheat.

Constant-Volume, Single-Zone System with


Face and Bypass Dampers on the Cooling Coil
Constant-volume, single-zone systems with face and bypass dampers on
the cooling coil are not as common as they were in the past, but we will ana-
lyze thi s type in our psychrometric training process nonetheless. This system is
basically a single-zone air handler with a coo ling coil plus an extra damper sec-
tion; see Figure 7-4 for all the wmponents. The dampers are used to adjust the
amount of supply a ir that goes through the cooling coil or the amount of mixed
air that bypasses the cooling coi l, thus the name/ace and bypass.
The damper is controlled by the room thermostat as it maintains a constant
room dry-bu lb temperature. As the room temperature drops, the dampers are
adjusted to open the bypass sect ion and close down on the face section , raising
the air handler s uppl y dry-bulb temperature. The opposite is true if the room

temperature rises: the damper adj usts for less bypass air and more coo ling coil
air to lower the ai r handler supply temperature.
The psychrometries of this system at part load are show in Figure 7-5. Note
that the cooling coi l supply air temperature decreases as we decrease the air-
flow through the cooling co il at part load. Therefo re, thi s system does a much
better job of maintain ing the room re lati ve humidity at part load than a con-
stant-volume, vari able-temperature, single-zone system.
The psychrometries of the face and bypass system at fu ll load are the same
as shown in Figure 7- 1 because no air is being bypassed at fu ll load. The room
thermostat is ca lli ng for full coo ling, so 100% of the supply air is being cooled
in the cooling coil.

dampel'"S on the cooling coil at part load.

Constant-Volume System with Terminal Reheat


Now we shift our focus to HVAC air systems that arc designed to serve
many zones from one air handler. The constant-volume wi th tenninal reheat
system was the primary commercial office space system from the 19405 to the
mid-1970s. The system is fair ly simpl e: a single-zone air handler suppli es air
dueled throughout the bu il ding, and then reheat coil s are put in each duct
runoullo serve any individua l zones.
The air handl er ensures a constant leav ing supply air temperature all year
round, and each reheat coi l tempers the air to meet the room temperature
desired in each zone. A few things to note: zones can have different tempera-
ture setpoints, zone reheats can be at different stages of tempering as zone
loads change, and part-load humidity control by zone is very good because the
main supply ai r is constantl y be ing dehumidified. However, thi s system is very
expensive to operate because it is both cooling and reheating throughout the
day, month , and yea r. Also, most energy codes, such as ANSUAS HRAElIES
Standard 90. 1 (AS H RAE 20 13) and Cal iforni a's Title 24 (CBSC 20 13), restrict
the use of this system for obvious reasons. It was a popular way to get zone
control in buildings when energy was cheap and before VA V was in vented.
The psychrometries of this system at fu ll load are the same as those shown
in Figure 7-1.
The psychrometries of thi s system at part load are the same as those shown
in Figure 7-2, with the exception that each zone has a separate psychrometri c

chart, because the amount of the reheat will vary by zone and the SHR can be
slightly different by zone. However, a word of caution: the worst zone, from a
lowest-SHR standpoint, sets the air handler supply air dry-bulb temperature for
the entire system.

Constant-Volume Multizone and Dual-Duct Systems


Constant-volume multizone and dual-duct systems are designed to provide
comfort to multip le zones by mixi ng cool air with warm air so that the dis-
charge supp ly air temperature is sati sfied by the zone thermostat. The only dif-
ference between these two systems is where the mixing of the hot and cool air
occurs.
In a multi zone system, the blow-through air handler has the mi xing damp-
ers mounted on the front or top of the air-handling unit (AHU). The dampers
are on a common shaft, but offset by 90°, so when the hot deck is fu ll open, the
cold deck is fu ll closed and vice versa. Control of the air handler is simply a
constant deck temperature fo r each, say tdb = 55°F for the cold deck and tdb =
JOsoF for the hot deck. A si ngle damper activator is then controlled by a room
thermostat to position the dampers to meet the room temperature setpoint. If
the zone is too cool, this actuator opens more to the hot deck to wann the air
and increase the supply air temperature, thus warming the room. If the zone is
too warm, this actuator repositions to open to the cold deck (closes down on the
hot deck) to cool the air and lower the supply air temperature. Supply ductwork
is run out from this central air handl er to each zone. Small units may have as
few as three zones and large units as many as 18 to 20 zones. Figure 7-6 shows
a constant-volume, multi zone system.
In the dual-duct system, the blow-through air handler again has a hot deck
and a cold deck on the discharge side of the supply fan, but no mixing dampers.
Two sets of suppl y ductwork are run around the building in parallel with each
other. At any location that a zone is required, a dual-duct mixing box is
install ed and dual taps are run to the coo l deck duct and the hot deck duct. The
mixing box has two dampers on a common shaft offset by 90° with a single
actuator. The room thermostat is connected to thi s actuator to provide zone
comfort. The air handler aga in has controls to maintain constant leaving cold-

deck and hot-dec k temperatures. Th e operation o f this system is identical to


that of the mu lt izone system. Figure 7-7 shows a constant-volume, dual-duct
system.
Both of these systems are very ex pensive to operate because both decks are
kept at a consta nt leaving air temperature and achieve comfort by mixing both
airstreams. Their use is restricted by most energy codes due to the high energy
usage requi red fo r proper operation.
The psychrometries of the multizone and dual-duct systems are shown in
Figure 7-8. Note the mi xing line fro m the cold-deck discharge at Idb = 55°F

actual di scharge temperature can be anyone of an infinite number of points
along this line, and each zone can be at a different di scharge point. Also note
that we can heat and cool with thi s mi xing of airstreams at each zone.
Exercise caution to make sure that the cold-deck dry-bulb temperature is
low enough to sati sfy the SHR for the worst zone and that the hot-deck tem-
perature is warm enough to sati sfy the heat loss of the worst zone.
Figure 7-9 shows the psychrometrics of multi zone and dual-duct systems in
winter heating mode. In thi s example, the room is at ' db = 70°F and $ = 40% rh,
with an outdoor design of (db = 32°F and $ = 50% rho The mi xed condition is
'db = 62.4°F and $ = 45 % rh oThe cooling coi l line is sensible cooling only, or
horizontal , and ends at 'db = 55°F and $ = 57% rho The heating co il line is sen-
sible heating only and ends at 'db = 105°F and $ = 12% rho Note that because
both the cooli ng and heating are sensibl e only (no latent), th e hot-deck and
cold-deck mixing line is the sum of the cooling coil line and the heating coil
line. Any zone wi ll require supp ly air that is mixed along this line.

Variable-Air-Volume Systems for Multiple Zones


In the early 1970s, the high energy usage of most of the constant-volume
systems forced designs and owners to look for systems with lower operational
costs. Variable-a ir-volume (VA V) systems made their debut and are still very
popular today, as they provide great fan horsepower savings for most of the
year.

66 Cha pte r 7 Psychrometries in Zoned HVAC Systems

An air handler with a single supply duct and a VFD on the supply fan pro-
vides a consta nt disc harge air tempe rature of {db = 55°F to the building. As
zones are required, a V A V box is tapped into this main supply trunk.
The V A V box is a single-damper device that modulates the airflow to the
zone in response to the room thermostat. Said another way, it is an a ir-throt-
tling device that provides comfort to the zone. A t fu1l1oad in the zone, the V A V
box is wide open in response to the room thermostat. At all part-load condi -
tions, the V A V box has its damper closed some amount in res ponse to lower
de mand for coo ling in the zone.
The psychrometries for VAV sys tems are the sa me as shown in Figure 7-1
for each zone on the AHU. Aga in , ma ke s ure the air handler leaving supply air
dry-bulb temperature is low enough to satisfy the worst zone's S HR. Now at
part load we simply go to the sensible heat equation , qs = 1.08 5 x cfm x (t1 -
t2)' to determine how we handle the V A V operation.
Because the supply air temperature is constant year round , we reduce the
se nsible heat by simply reduci ng the airflow delivered to the zon e. If we wa nt
half of the sensibl e load , we only s upply hal f the airflow to the zone. The
room th ermostat controls the actuator on the damper shaft to keep the zone
comfortable.
So , at most part-load conditions, the psychrometries do not c hange- only
the airflow changes to satisfy the reduced load , and Figure 7- 1 is still valid .
This assumes the room SHR stays close to the full - load SHR at part load.
This style of V A V box is a cooling-on ly box and can typically only be used
fo r the buildi ng interior or zones that are in cooling year round .

Variable-Air-Volume Systems with Heating VAV Boxes


Most exterior zones require heating for a portion of the year. This section
covers two different styles of heating V A V boxes: V A V reheat boxes a nd fan-
powered V A V boxes that can have reheat as needed . Note that the cen tral air
handler does not change with this des ign- we have cooling-only boxes on the
interior and heating boxes on the exterior.
To build a YAV reheat box, we simply take a cooling-only box and put a
reheat coil on the discharge of it. The coil can be hot water, stea m, or electric
duct heater in design.
The psychrometries of a V A V reheat box at full load are the same as show n
in Figu re 7- 1, As the demand for cool ing drops, we use the same part-load psy-
chrometric chart as shown in Figure 7 -1 but at lower airflow. But at some pre-
set minimum airflow, say 35% of full airflow, we energize the reheat coil. T he
controls modulate the amount of reheat or temperature rise in response to the
room thermostat. The psychrometries are shown in Figure 7-10, with the maxi -
mum reheat to a dry-bulb temperature of 95 °F. Remember , only reheat to a dis-
charge a ir tempe ratu re into the zone t hat will sa tisfy the roo m thermostat.

Figure 7-10 Psychrometl'"ics of a VAV reheat box at part load.

To construct a fan-po wered VA V box that can al so have reheat as needed,


add a sheet metal plenum on the side of a cooling-on ly box with a sma ll direct-
dri ve centrifugal fan. The fan can draw plenum air through an air filter and di s-
charge it into the cooling box downstream of the cooling control damper. A
back-draft damper is required on the di scharge of the centrifugal fan. This is
considered a para ll el fan-powe red box.
The control is similar to that ofa VA V reheat box. At full cooling, we have
100% of the cooling air going to the zone (no fan operation). At part load, we
throttle down the supply air to a lower amount (no fan operation). At a preset
minimum airflo w, say 35% of the full-load airflow, we fi x the cooling damper
to that position and start the centrifugal fan. It draws air from the ceiling ple-
num and mixes it with the reduced flo w 'db = 55°F to discharge warmer air into
the zone and meet the room thermostat setpoint. This ceiling plenum air can be
3° F to 5°F hi gher than the room tempe rature as long as the building is occu-
pi ed, because it has the heat of the li ghts added to it.
The psychrometrics of a fan-powered VAV box that can have reheat as
needed are shown in Figure 7-11. Note that you are mixing supply air at ' db =
55°F and $ = 87% rh with plenum air at fdb = 80°F and $ = 42% rh along the
mixing line. The location will be determined by the airflow of supply air and
the airflow of the plenum air provided by the small centrifugal fan .
If needed, another reheat coi l cou ld be mounted on the box di scharge sec-
tion to provide additional heating capacity for wintertime zone heat losses. The
coil is shown as additional reheat (" Reheat if Needed") in Figure 7-11.

and Psychrometries

Study Objectives
After completing this chapter, you should be able to

o understand e nergy saving systems and strategies and their effects on the
psychrometric analysis and
o understand why lower energy costs result from the use of these systems and
strategies.

Instructions
Read the materia l in Chapter 8. At the end of the chapter, complete the skill
deve lopment exercises without referring to the text.

Introduction
This chapter covers energy conservation principles and strategies and how
they affect the HVAC system design. There are many devices and strategies
that can conserve energy, but thi s text focuses on only the most commonly used
in HV AC: heat recovery devices, energy recovery devices, air-side economiz-
ers, water-side economizers, and supply air temperature reset. We will exam ine
the psychrometric processes and the energy-saving effects of these fi ve sys-
tems.

Heat Recovery Devices


Heat recovery is the exchange of dry-bulb air temperature only between
two airstreams. In an HVAC system, thi s is typica lly between the outdoor air
used for venti lation and the common building exhaust airstream. The greater
the temperature difference that exists between the two airstreams, the more we
can affect the HV AC performance. This is also called sensible heal recovery,
because we only change the dry-bu lb temperature.
The four most common types of heat recovery devices are heal wheels, air-
to-air heat exchangers, heat pipes, and glycol run-around loops. Figure 8-1
shows three of these devices, and Figure 8-2 shows a schematic of a coi l run-
around loop.

A heat whee l is a large-diameter, deep whee l consisting of a honeycomb


sty ling of metal pockets. Ha lf of the wheel is located in the exhaust airstream
and the other half is located in the inc oming outdoor airstream. In the winter, as
the wheel rotates slowly, the co ld outdoor air is preheated by the wanner
exhaust airstream that is being dumped outdoors, The indi vidual pockets
change temperature rapid ly as the wheel rotates from one airstream to the other
and back again.
In the summ er, the wheel also precools the hot outdoor air with indoor
room-temperature exhaust air from the building. Note that thi s device must be
ducted and positioned in such a way that the airstream s are next to each other
somewhere in the system. A lso, a small amount of cross-contamination occurs
between the airstreams, so care must be taken depending on the application.
For example, exhaust ai r fro m an office buildi ng (toilet, break room,janitori al
Fundamentals of Psychrometries (I-P), Second Edition 75

closets, etc.) is genera ll y acceptable to use, but exhaust from hospita l isolation
rooms is never acceptable.
One final note on rotary heat wheels is that the loss of air from the supply
side (outdoor air) to the exhaust air s ide can be as high as 10% of the total air-
flow. This is the cause of the cross-contamination, but you must also increase
the airflow hi gher than the design required amount to cover th is loss or leak-
age.
An air-to-air heat exchanger uses parallel plates of metal (or other material)
to separate the exhaust air from the outdoor air. The plates are packed tightly
next to each other in the heat exchanger, and the heat transfer goes across each
plate. So every other plate has indoor or outdoor air flowing through it in oppo-
site directions. This heat exchanger design does not have any cross-contamina-
tion between the two airstreams, and both airstreams must be side by side
somewhere in the system.
Heat pipes look like one big chilled-water coil or heat exchanger. The dif-
ference is that each tube go ing across the coil is a separate chamber filled with
a very small refrigerant charge. Eac h half of the coil, split side to side, sits in
one of the airstreams. In winter, the outdoor air side of the heat pipe condenses
the refrigerant in the tube and rejects the heat to the outdoor air, warming it.
The other side sits in the wa rm exhaust air, wh ich vaporizes the refrigerant,
absorbing the heat from the warm airstream. By natural pressure d iffe rence, the
warm refrigerant vapor mi grates to the colder side, where it condenses. The
coil is tilted sli ght ly so the liqu id refrigerant flow s back to the warm side on the
bottom of each small tube. When the season changes to summer, the tilt must
be reversed so the heat pipe can work in the reverse and cool the warm entering
outdoor air.
A glycol run-around loop is two large coils or heat exchangers placed in the
two airstreams that arc connected by two pipes and one pump to move the gly-
col-water solution from one coi l to the other. They transfer heat from the
exhaust airstream to the outdoor airstream by warm ing up and then cooling
down the pumped glyco l-water so lution. The advantage of thi s system is that
the airstreams can be located great di stances from each other. There is no
cross-contamination with th is dev ice.

Psychrometric Effects and Savings of Heat Recovery


Figure 8-3 shows winter temperature-change-only heat recovery. The
exhaust airstream is at 'db = 70°F and $ = 40% rh and 1500 cfm. The outdoor
airstream is at [db = 32°F and $ = 50% rh and 2000 cfm. N ote: Typically more
outdoor air is brought in than exhausted to posi ti ve ly pressurize the building to
keep the indoor env ironment clean and dust free.
However, we must first introduce the concept of heat exchanger effecti ve-
ness. Counterflow air-to-air heat exchangers can achieve close to 100% effec-
tiveness. But, the range of 50% to 70% effectiveness for cost and air pressure
drop considerations is generally selected. For this example, we wi ll use 60%
effectiveness.

So 37, 107 Btulh of energy has been conserved by preheating the outdoor

Next, we will look at the process in the summer with o utdoor des ign condi-
tions of Idb = 95°F and Ql = 40% rh and room conditions of Idb = 75°F and Ql =
50% rh, as shown in Figure 8-4.

An air-te-air heat exchanger was used in thi s ex ample, but the same proce-
dure applies to the other three heat recovery devices-only the effecti veness
will change.

Condensation and Frost Formation


We must consider two other item s in the use of heat recovery devices, con-
densation and frost formation. Condensation can occur on a heat exchanger if
the exhaust air dew-point temperature is reached. For example, in Figure 8-3 , if
the exhaust air temperature were lowered below tdb = 45°F, then condensation
would occur on a small portion of th e heat transfer surface. Be sure to specify
these devices w ith a condensate drain to properly collect this water.
Frost can fo rm on the leaving side of the exhaust air in the heat recovery
device when the outdoor air gets to temperatures o f + 10°F or less. In the win-
ter, because the exhaust air dew-point temperature is almost always above
35°F, this is a design consideration in C limate Zones 4 to 8 (ASHRAE 2013).
Frost formation in the heat recovery device decreases the exhaust airflow and
reduces the de vice 's effectiveness.
The methods used to preven t frost formation on heat recovery devices are
as fo llows:

Preheat the outdoor airstream to some preset temperature entering the


device (e.g., + IO°F) (a ll types of heat recovery devices).
Install a set of bypa ss dampers around the device to bypass a portion of the
outdoor airstream so the heat exchanger does not get so cold (heat wheel,
air-to-air heat exchanger, heat pipe).
Install a three-way contro l va lve in the glycol piping to control the glycol
solution inlet temperature on the exhaust coil to somewhere around +30°F,
thus pre venting fro st formation (run-around loo p).
Increase the rotationa l speed of the heat wheel so the outdoor air does not
cool the heat transfer part of the wheel to below around + 30°F (heat
wheel).

Energy Recovery Devices


Energy recovery is the transfer of sensible heat and latent heat from the
exhaust airstream to the outdoor airstream . At first glance, the whee l looks
identical to a heat recovery whee l that transfers temperature only. However, the
heat transfer material in an energy recovery device is coated with a des iccant
Funda me ntals of Psychrometries (I-P), Second Edition 79

materi al that absorbs water vapor and then rejects the water vapor to the other
airstream. So in winter, the moisture in the wanner building air is transferred to
the very dry outdoor ai r, thus helping maintain the indoor relative hum idity.
And in the summer, the coo l and dryer indoor air that is exhausted absorbs
some of the moisture in the hot, humid outdoor air.
Energy recovery devices come in two types: I) rotary energy wheels and
2) plate air-to-air heat exchangers with moisture transfer plates that are not
solid metal in construction. Fo ll owing are performance examples of an energy
recovery rotary wheel. Summer perfonnance with a total energy effecti veness
of 0.87 is shown in Figure 8-5 and is as follows:

Outdoor air cond itions : 'db = 95°F. ' wb = 74.6°F, outdoor air = 2296 cfm
Supply air conditions: 'db = 82°F. ' wb = 67°F, supply air = 2000 cfm
Return air conditions: tdb = 75°F. twb = 62.4°F, return air = 1500 cfm
Exhaust air condit ions: tdb = 92.4° F, twb = 73.2°F, ex haust air = 1796 cfm

Note the leakage airfl ow is 296 cfm and the outdoor air total cooling load

The coo ling system on ly needs to cool the outdoor air from tdb = 82°F and
' \Vb =67°F to Idb = 75 °F and $ = 50% rh instead of from ldb = 95°F and 'wb =
74.6°F, which reduces the cooli ng energy costs.
Winter performance with the sa me effectiveness is shown in Figure 8-6 and
is as fo llows:
Outdoor air conditions: 'db = 32°F, {wb = 27. 1°F, outdoor air = 2296 cfm
Supply air conditions: tdb = 56. 8°F, 'wb = 47.2°F, supply air = 2000 cfm
Return air conditions: 'db = 70°F, ' wb = 55.6°F, return air = 2000 cfrn
Exhaust air cond itions: 'db = 37°F, ' wb = 31.s o F, ex haust air = 1796 cfrn

The outdoor air heat ing load is reduced by

~ 4.5 x 2000 cfm x ( 18.8 - 9.8)
~ 4.5 x 2000 cfm x (9)
~ 8 1,000 Btulh

The outdoor air now has only to be heated from 'db = 56. 8°F to 'db = 70°F
instead of from 'db = 32°F, which reduces the cooling energy costs, as with the
winter operation.
Note that in both cases of heating and coo ling to the outdoor air, the humid-
ity ratio changes so you are not on ly transferring sensible heat, but also latent

heat. This late nt heat helps mai ntain the indoor room relative humidi ty at the
design condition.

Air-Side Economizer
An air-side economizer is an HVAC system option that allows cooling
without the use of mechanical refrigeration , thus making the cooling energy
equal to zero. For instance, to satisfy the cooling load, we need the supply ai r
{db = 55°F. Then, any time of the year that the outdoor air temperature is {db =
55°F or less, we can shut the mechanized refrigeration off and open our out-
door air dampers to 100%, pulling in 55°F air. Now this 55°F outdoor air pro-
vides all the cooling to the building. This is called full economizer mode and
should be considered any place where there is a cooling need in the fall, winter,
and spring.
You can also implement partial air-side economizing in your HVAC sys-
tem. For examp le, the outdoor air temperature is Idb= 65°F and your room is at
{db = 75°F. Instead of cooling the air from 75°F down to 55°F for the supply air,
you only have to cool the air from 65°F to 55°F with mechanical refrigeration.
In this example , the refrigeration load is reduced approximately 50%. So par-
ti al economizing can be used any time the outdoor air is less than the room
cooling condition.
A word of caution when using partial air-side economizing on constant-
volume, variable- temperature systems and it is very humid or raining outdoors
is that the humid outdoor air will cause the room relative humidity to go above
the room design condition of ~ = 50% rho In this instance, use the outdoor air
enthalpy instead of the dry-bulb temperature to initiate partial economizing.
The outdoor en thalpy should be at least 5 Btu/lb da less than the room enthalpy
condition before you allow partial economizing. This is less of a concern on
V AV systems since they control to a constant leaving cooling ai r temperature at
all load conditions.
Note that with the air-side economizer option the air-handling system must
be capable of bri ngi ng in up to 100% outdoor air. This mea ns the outdoor ai r
weather louvers. outdoor air duct. and outdoor air dampers must all be sized
and selected for the fu ll ai rflow of the ai r handler.
Also, becau se yo u are bringing up to 100% outdoor air into the building,
you must provide a way to relieve, or exhaust, this additional air and provide
building pressure control to prevent overpressurization of the building. Fail-
ure to do th is will result in th e exterior doors staying partially open, not fu lly
closing.

Water-Side Economizer
The water-side economizer system was developed to provide cooling via
the chilled-wa ter system to air-handling systems that do not have any outdoor
air connection or have minimum outdoor air capability. For this energy-saving
82 Cha pte r 8 Energy Conservation and Psychrometries

option, you must have a chi lled-water cooling delivery system, a cooling tower,
and a heat exchanger piped between the chilled- and condenser-water systems.
Let's look at the performance of a cooling tower from the psychrometric
side. A cooling tower produces cool water dependent on the ambient wet-bulb
temperature onl y. For examp le, the amb ient is (db = 95°F and twb = 75°F, as in
our previous examp les. The cooling tower has a 7°F approach temperature at
fu ll load or heat rejection. Thi s means the cooling tower can produce 82°F
leaving cooling tower water, or 'wb = 75°F + 7°F = 82°F. In the process of cool-
ing the water down to 82°F, a portion of the recirculating water is evaporated
by slightly cooling the air (lower 'db) and greatly adding moisture to the air. It
is not uncommon that the air leaving a cooling tower is between 90% and 95%
relative humidity.
As the outdoor air coo ls in the fa ll, winter, and spring, so does the outdoor
wet-bulb temperature. Also, the building sensible load decreases in these non-
peak cooling seasons. For examp le, the ambient temperature is 'db = 40°F and
' \Vb = 35°F. We also have the same approach temperature at part load of 7°F (if
the tower is at fu ll load and the same ambient conditions, the approach would
be around 12°F).
So this tower will make 42°F leaving condenser water. If our heat
exchanger has a 2°F approach temperature, then we can make 44°F chilled
water to be distributed throughout the building to provide cooling where
needed. See Figure 8-7 fo r a system schematic of a water-side economizer.
This water-side economizer is most commonly used on systems that have
chilled-water fan-coils or small air handler type systems. Typically, these sys-
tems have no outdoor air or a small amount of outdoor air, and it could be diffi-
cult or impossible to duct 100% outdoor air capability to them.

The heat exchanger between the condenser water system and the chilled-
water system must be cleanab le. So, because both can have the condenser
water debris eas ily removed, plate-and-frame and shell -and-tube (tube-side
condenser water) are the two heat exchangers most commonly used.

Supply Air Temperature Reset


Supply ai r temperature reset works because in almost all comfort cooling
system app lications, the sensib le heat gain decreases in the fall, winter, and
spring. So, if the sensible heat gain to a zone is half the summer peak gain by
the sensible heat equation di scussed in Chapter 4, qs = 1.085 x cfm x (II - '2)'
and if our ai rflow" is constant, then the fjJ can be ha lf to produce half the sensi-
ble cooling. Consider: if we have cfm = 2000, a summer peak supply air tem-
perature of tdb = 55° F, and a room condition of tdb = 75° F, then

Full sensible cooling: q, full ~ 1.085 x 2000 cfrn x (75' F - 55' F)


~ 43,400 Btulh
Half sensib le cooling: q, ha lf ~ 1.085 x 2000 cfrn x (75' F - 55' F) x 0.5
~ 2 1,700 Btu/h

Simply by having the air hand ler supply tdb = 65°F, we can provide the
cooling necessary. See Figure 8-8 for the psychrometric analysis of this con-

cept. A lso note that the sensib le heat ratio will change as the heat gain
decreases in the off-peak load times of the year.
A few words of caution are in order before you apply thi s strategy:

Data centers, IT rooms, and te lecom rooms may have only slight decreases
in the sensible load throughout the year and , therefore, cannot use supply
air temperature reset.
Process or industrial applications may never change in sensible load and so
cannot use supp ly air temperature reset.
VA V systems are very economica l to nm because the airflow varies as the
sensible load goes down. But if you reset the supply air temperature
upward too much , you will eat into or eliminate the fan horsepower savings
deri ved from th is system. Granted, you can probably reset the supply air
tdb = 55°F to 58°F or 60°F, but not up to 65 °F to 70°F. This is a great case
fo r energy model ing of the V A V system to see how high in reset tempera-
ture you can go at the expense of fa n energy usage. Remember, the higher
the supply ai r temperature, the more refrigeration or cooli ng energy you
can save.
Be ve ry carefu l about how much supply air temperature reset you do in
very humid areas of the world. Remember, the supply air temperature from
the cooling coi l sets the req uired dew point to maintain the room relative
humidity via the sensib le heat ratio calculation. Many times in the olT-peak
cooling season you cou ld reset the supply air temperature, but the outdoor
hum idity cond itions force the cooling coil to always be in dehumidification
mode. And be ca reful of ra iny days in the off-peak cooling season, as the
outdoor moisture content may take precedent over supply air temperature
reset. All modem HVAC contro l systems should do some indoor relative
humidity sensing as a standard benefit, so the building manager/operator
has the ability to make the right decision in this event.

Many other energy-conserving measures can be used on a building that do


not involve the psychrometric process in the HV AC system and, therefore, are
not discussed in thi s course.

Introduction
This chapter discusses five special cases of psychrometric applications in
the HVA C industry: cooling towers, c1eanrooms, indoor swimming poo ls,
direct evaporative coo ling, and indirect evaporative cooling.

Cooling Towers
Starting with coo ling towers may seem strange because the function of a
cooling tower is to cool water. However, it cools the water by rejecting the
heat, through an evaporative/sensible process cooling, to the ambient or out-
door air.
The cooling tower approach temperature is the difference between the leav-
ing water temperature and the ambient air wet-b ulb temperature.
An example shows what happens to the ambient air and the entering water
as they pass through the cooling tower. Consider a 300 ton cooling tower that
can cool 900 gpm of water from 95°F to 85°F, The heat being rejected by the
water is

q = 500 x 1:11 x gpm for water


~ 500 x 10' F x 900
~ 4,500,000 Btulh
88 Chapter 9 Special Applications and Psychro metric Considerations

The entering amb ient air to the cooling tower is Idb = JOsoF and t ll'b = 78°F.
This tower moves 60,300 efm of air, which leaves the tower almost at the satu-
ration line on the psychrometri c chart. Therefore, the air must pick up
4,500,000 Btulh, as shown by the total heat required equation discussed in
Chapter 4:

q, ~ 4.5 x cfm x (h, - h2)

where hI is the entha lpy at tdb = JOs oF and ' wb = 78°F, or h = 42 BtuJlb dw
Therefore,

4,500,000 ~ 4.5 x 60,300 x (42 - h 2)


"2 ~ 58.6 BtuJlbda

So, the leaving air te mperature is tdb = 92.5°F and ' \Vh = 92.3 °F, or almost
saturated air. Note that the cooli ng tower approach is the difference between
the leaving water temperature (85 °F) and the 78°F entering wet-bulb ambient
temperature, or ]OF.
See Figure 9-1 fo r the detai ls of the air condition as it flows through the
cooli ng tower. Note that part of the process is sensible cooli ng, but the maj ority
is latent heat be ing added to the ambient air as the tower water is cooled.
Also note that the entering ambient air can be anywhere on th e Idb = 78°F
wet-bulb line and we will get the same results. The only difference is the
amount of latent heat and the amount of sensible heating or coo ling that takes
place as the air moves through the coo li ng tower.

Indoor Swimming Pools


From a design prospective, the indoor air dry-bulb temperature for indoor
swimming pools or natatoriums used for recreational purposes should be the
same temperature as the pool water temperature. That way, the amount of pool
water lost to evaporation into the pool enclosure is reduced. However, ifthis is not
possible, do not allow tdb to be greater than +4°F above the water temperature.
The range for recreational pool water temperature is 75°F to 85°F, with a
recommended $ = 50% rh to 60% rh. As an example in this section, we wi ll
design around ldb = 800F and ~ = 55% rh. A specially designed unit called a pool
dehumidifier is used to provide dehumidification, reheat, and the proper amount
of outdoor ventilation air as shown in Figure 9-2. The unit also has the capabil ity
to provide auxi liary heat (of wintertime outdoor air), pool water heat (energy
saver), an external refrigerant condenser (reject heat outdoors), and energy or
heat recovery devices as explained in Chapter 8. It is also acceptable to return
the water condensed by the dehumidi fyi ng coil back to the swimming pool.
The amount of outdoor ventilation a ir required is 0.48 cfm/ ft 2 of total area,
which comes from ANSVASHRAE Standard 62. 1 (ASH RAE 2013). Total area
is defined as the pool surface plus the deck area around the pool if it gets wet
during normal operat ion. I f this indoor pool area is connected to or is part of a
larger building, then it should be at a sli ghtly negative pressure to the rest of the
building (-0.05 in. of water). This wi ll ensure that the chlorine odor and the
high-moisture-content air do not get into the rest of the bui lding.
Take care to ensure that the building envelope is designed to handle the
high-dew-point indoor air. Exterior windows are discouraged in cold winter
design areas, as they will sweat excessively and cause damage.
For our example, the indoor pool is at tdb = 80°F and ~ = 55% rh . Note that
the indoor dew point is ldp = 62°F. The pool dehumidification unit cools and

dehumidifies the air first and then reheats the air to meet the psychrometric
needs. From a load ca lculation, the room sensi ble heat ratio (S HR) for this
example is 0.5. So the air is cooled from tdb = 80°F down to ldb = 55°F and
room mo isture is removed in the process. Then the air is reheated from 'db =
55°F up to 'db = 65°F to intersect the SHR line on the psychrometric chart and
balance the sensible and latent cooling processes. See Figure 9-3 for the actual
pool dehumidification and reheat process.
Also note that to provide for the fu ll heating load at winter design, both the
refri geration reheat coil and the aux ili ary heat wi ll be used to warm the air to
the design supply air temperature. Conversely, for the summer design, dehu-
midification will be needed. So the supply air temperature of Idb = 55°F will
cover the cooling des ign load without any reheat. This then requires a second
refrigerant condenser to reject the hea t to the ambient air.

Cleanrooms
The need fo r c\eanrooms has expanded greatly over time. They are used in
manufacturing facilities for microprocessors, pharmaceuti cals, medical prod-
ucts, and variuus electronic devices. The commun requirement uf these fac ili-
ties is a clean area using high-effic iency particle arrestor air fi ltration with
precise dry-bulb temperature and rel ative humidity control.
A c1eanroom HVAC system is divided into two subsystems with different
functions. First is the makeup air system, which provides preconditioned out-
door air to the c1eanroom area because a large amount of ex haust air is typi-
call y removed in the manufacturi ng process. The second subsystem is the

recirculating room air handlers that slightl y cool and filter the room air, at the
same time maintaining an airflow rate in the room.
As an example, a cleanroom is designed at summer conditions of tdb =
70°F and $ = 45% rh, which is means a tdp of 48 °F. The design outdoor air is
(db = 105°F and ' \Vb = 78°F. Therefore, the makeup air handler must cool this
hot/humid summer design air to something less than (dh = 48°F, because the
recirculation air hand lers pe rform on ly sensible cooling. Or, sa id another way,
the makeup air has to remove all the outdoor air latent load plus any room
latent load pri or to the air being mixed into the c1eanroom .
Because most c1eanrooms have very few people working in them at any
given time and the manufacturing tool load is mostly a sensible load, the latent
load from the c1eanroom is typica ll y small. For thi s example, by cooling the ai r
down to 'db = 45°F, we ca n handle the c1eanroom latent load from our latent
load calculations.
The makeup air hand ler must also be able to add humidity to the air when
the outdoor air is dry, as we ll as heat the air to near room conditi on in the win-
ter. These are typi cally very large and long ai r handl ers, because they perform
many funct ions on the outdoor airstream. Note in Figure 9-4 all the compo-
nents necessary to prov ide preconditioned outdoor air.
Let's look at the psychrometries of thi s make-up air handler at the summer
des ign conditions. The psychrometric chart for this unit is shown in Fi gure 9-5.
All three cooling coils and the reheat coil are used to precondition the air
before mixing it with the c1eanroom recirculation air. A summary of the fou r
coils follows:

I. Precool coil takes the 100% outdoor air from Idb = 105°F down to (db =
95°F with a process coo ling loop water supply a t 86°F.

2. Chilled-water coi l then takes the air from 'db = 95 °F down to 'db = 52°F
with the chilled-water loop at 42° F.
3. Glycol (antifreeze) cooling coi l then takes the air from Idh = 52°F down to
ldb = 45 °F with a water/g lycol solution at 35°F.
4. Reheat coil then heats the air from {db = 45 °F up to 'db = 66°F with the
return water from the process coo ling loop that is at about 95 °F. This is a
huge energy-saving feature to use the return water as a heating source and
thus cool the return water in the process.

This precond itioned outdoor air is then mixed with the c1eanroom return air
that is at Idb = 700F and IP = 45% rh at the inlet of the recirculation air-hand ling
un its. If the relative hum idity gets to below 45%, then the glycol coil raises its
supply air temperature a degree or two to bring the c1eanroom back up to q, =
45 % rho
At any outdoor condition , th is makeup air handler has the components to
bring the outdoor a ir to the de sired mixed condition before it is introduced into
the cleanroom.
The c1eanroom rec ircu lation units are very si mple: they consist of a fan , a
small chilled-water coil, and a set of air prefilters. The actual c1eanroom high-
effic iency particle arrestor filters are in the cei ling of the c1eanroom and pro-
vi de airflow at a high ve locity through the room. Because they are sensible-
cooling-only units and have a very small temperature drop, Idb = 70°F to tdb =
66°F, or only 4°F of cooling, there is no temperature deviation in the clean-
room. The psychrometries of the rec irculation c1eanroom air handler are shown
in Figure 9-6.

Figure 9-6 Recirculation clean room air handler psychrometries.

The mixing of the preconditioned makeup air and the return air from the
cLeanroom is int eresting in that the ratio of tile room/makeup air is typically 20/ 1
to 50/ 1, depending on the process in the c1eanroom. Therefore, the mixed condi-
tion is only reduced a fe w tenths of a degree in the dry bulb temperature. The
room temperature sensor controls the chilled-water valve in the recirculation air
handler to change the leav ing air temperature slightly if needed.

Direct Evaporative Cooling


Direct evaporati ve cooling can be used very effectively in the hot and dry
climates of the world to provide for human comfort. In direct evaporative cool-
ing, the airstream is 100% outdoor air and in contact with water. As some water
evaporates, it lowers the dry-bu lb temperature of the airstream, cooling the air.
The process of direct evaporative cooling is a constant-wet-bulb-temperature
process, as shown in Figure 9-7.
For example, consider outdoor air conditions of tdb = 100°F and $ = 5% rh,
in which the process goes up and to the left on the 61 °F wet-bu lb line. If the
direct evaporative coo li ng has a 95% efficiency, then the leaving air tempera-
ture will be tdb = 63°F and ~ = 90% rho We can also calculate the condition as
fo llows:

Evaporative effect = (EATdb - EAT wb ) x Efficiency


37°F ~ (lOO°F - 61 OF) x 0.95

So, if the room has a high sensible load and a very low latcnt load, we can
keep the room conditions at 'db = 75°F and 4> = 60% rh with a fairly flat SHR line.

Indirect Evaporative Cooling


Indirect evaporative coo ling is simply cooling the air with a cooling co il and
then using the evaporative process to cool the water that goes through the cool-
ing co il. By definition, then, indirect evaporative cooling is not as effic ient as
direct evaporative cooling because two heat transfers take place in the process.
Take the direct evaporative cooling example: we can make 63 °F water in this
process and we waste the cool air back to ambient. We take this 63 °F water to a
cooling coil and we can make tdb = 68°F air with Idb = 75 °F air entering the
coil. Again, if our cooling load is mostly/all sensi bl e and our airflow is high
enough, we can mainta in the room at ' db = 75°F and $ = 50% rho See Figure 9-8
fo r the psychrometries of the indirect evaporative cooling process.

However, w hen used together with 100% outdoor air, the leaving air tem-
perature can be lowered by 10°F. We use the same outdoor conditions of (db =

So, as you can see, the combination of both indirect and direct evaporative
coo ling in series can deliver ai r that ca n provide for a comfortable room with-
out mechani cal refrigeration.
See Figure 9-9 fo r a plot of indirect and direct evaporative coo ling in seri es.
Figure 9- 10 shows the component arrangement for an air hand ler with both
