    Air conditioning involves controlling temperature, humidity, air movement, and quality. Psychrometry is the study of air and water vapor properties. Key air properties include pressure, temperature, humidity ratio, specific volume, enthalpy, relative humidity, dew point, and percent saturation. These properties are graphed on a psychrometric chart which shows the relationships between temperature, humidity ratio, and other metrics. Common air conditioning processes involve cooling, heating, humidifying, and dehumidifying air using the psychrometric chart.

    AIR CONDITIONING

    (Psychrometric)

    Air conditioning is the simultaneous control of temperature, humidity, air movement, and the
    quality of air in a space. Controlling the properties of air so that the air will be suitable for its intended use

    Moist air is a binary mixture of dry air and water vapor.

    Psychrometry – study of the properties of air and its water vapor content.

    Psychrometer – the instrument used in the study of the properties of air.

    Saturated Air – air whose condition is such that any decrease in temperature will result
    in condensation of the water vapor into liquid.

    Dry Air – non-condensing components of a mixture mainly nitrogen and oxygen.

    Vapor – condensable components of the mixture.

    Unsaturated Air – air containing superheated vapor.

    PROPERTIES OF AIR:

    1. Pressure , KPa

    P = Pa + Pv (Dalton’s Law) or (Pa = P – Pv)

    Where:
    P = total pressure of air-water vapor mixture
    Pa = Partial pressure of dry air
    Pv = partial pressure of water vapor

    2. Temperature, °C
    Dry Bulb Temperature (DB) – the actual temperature of the air or the temperature of air
    as registered by an ordinary thermometer.
    Wet Bulb Temperature (WB) – temperature of air if it is saturated or temperature of air
    as registered in a wetted wick thermometer.
    Wet Bulb Depression – difference between wet bulb and dry bulb thermometers
    kg water vapor
    3. Humidity Ratio, W, kg dry air
    ; grams w.v./m3 of dry air ; grains wv/lb d.a.
    Absolute Humidity(Humidity Ratio) – measure of the amount of moisture(water
    vapor) present in a volume of air.
    Pv Pv
    0 .622 =0. 6222
    W= Pa P−Pv where: P = atmospheric pressure
    Pv = partial pressure of water vapor

    5. Enthalpy, h, kg dry air
    H = Cpt + Whg

    Where: Cp = specific heat of dry air = 1.0 KJ/kg-°C


    t = temperature (dry bulb), °C
    W = humidity ratio, kg water vapor/kg dry air
    hg = enthalpy of saturated water vapor at the air temperature, KJ/kg

    6. Relative Humidity, RH, % - measure the amount of water vapor present divided by the
    maximum amount of water vapor that would be present if the air were totally saturated or ratio of
    the pressure of water vapor to the pressure of saturated water vapor at same dry bulb temperature
    Actual partial Pressure of watervapor

    Pv
    =
    Psat
    Pv = RH x Psat
    Psat – saturation pressure can be found at steam table at dry bulb temperature)

    7. Dew Point – the temperature at which the water vapor in the air condenses when the air is cooled
    at constant pressure or the temperature at which the air becomes saturated at constant pressure.
    8. Percent Saturation, %
    Actual Humidity Ratio
