Preface

Psychrometrics is a tool HVAC designers use to determine the


amount of moisture in the air and to provide solutions to designers for
the ultimate comfort of building occupants. It can be used to size air-
handling units; optimize energy performance; identify control sensors
for building automation; describe the performance of cooling coils,
cooling towers, and humidification equipment; and evaluate heat recov-
ery strategies.
Yet the use of psychrometrics and the psychrometric chart is differ-
ent from designer to designer. Some do not use the psychrometric chart,
relying instead on simplified formulas or complex computer simula-
tions. Others use the chart only for special situations, 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 course addresses the use of psychrometrics and the psychrometric
chart for typical applications and systems and includes some theory.
This theory not only sets the basics but also gives students an apprecia-
tion of the simplification that the psychrometric chart provides. The
psychrometric chart gives a visual description of HVAC design, one
that could never be appreciated from formulas alone.
This second edition of the psychrometrics self-directed learning
(SDL) course was rewritten in an attempt to teach the fundamentals of
psychrometrics in about half the time as the previous version. The
author has used his 42 years of experience in the HVAC industry as the
expertise for the format and content.

Introduction
Psychrometrics is an analysis tool that HVAC 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 very easy and probably boring. But, because all air we work with
contains some amount of moisture in the form of water vapor, our jobs get
more complex.
The four basic processes that an HVAC system can perform on moist air
are as follows:

• Cooling—Lowering the air temperature


• Heating—Raising the air temperature
• Humidification—Raising the moisture content in the air
• Dehumidification—Lowering the moisture content in the air

Note that HVAC processes can also be a combination of the above four
basic actions. These combinations include the following:

• Heating and humidification—Increasing the temperature and moisture con-


tent of the air at the same time
2 Chapter 1 Introduction to Psychrometrics

• Heating and dehumidification—Increasing the temperature and decreasing


the moisture content of the air at the same time
• Cooling and humidification—Decreasing the temperature and increasing
the moisture content of the air at the same time
• Cooling and dehumidification—Decreasing the temperature and moisture
content of the air at the same time

These combination processes provide an infinite number of potential


actions. For example, consider the cooling and dehumidification combination
process. We have a solution that drops the temperature 12 degrees and only
drops the dew point (defined later) 1 degree Another solution drops the tem-
perature 5 degrees and the dew point 5 degrees. So, there are thousands of solu-
tions with too many temperature and dew-point combinations to list.

Enthalpy
We will use the property of the enthalpy of air throughout this course.
Enthalpy is the sum of the internal energy or the total heat content of the air. In
other words, warm and humid air can have the same heat content as hot and dry
air. So the energy required to cool warm/humid air in the Gulf Region of North
America might be close to the energy required to cool hot/dry air in the South-
west deserts. Enthalpy h is subdivided into the following:

• hda = enthalpy of dry air at 0% relative humidity


• hs = enthalpy of saturated air or 100% relative humidity
• has = enthalpy differences between hda and hs

Air Density
Elevation has an effect on psychrometric analyses. As elevation changes, so
does the air density. This means the constants used in equations will change
and different psychrometric charts (Chapter 3) are required for proper calcula-
tion.
For this 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 will use volumetric airflow in cubic meters
per second (m3/s) rather than mass flow for our calculations throughout this
course.
Standard air is defined as air at sea level or 101.325 kPa of barometric pres-
sure and 20.8°C tdb. The density of air at sea level is 1.20 kg/m3.
The three equations we will use in our calculations are for sensible heat
(qs), the total heat required (qt), and latent heat (ql):
Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), Second Edition 3

qs (W) = 1210 × airflow in m3/s × (t1 – t2) in °C (1-1)

where the constant 1210 is derived from the following:

1.20 kg/m3 × 1.006 kJ/(kg·K) × 1000 J/kJ = 1210 J/(m3·K)


where 1.006 kJ/(kg·K) is the specific heat of air.

qt (kW) = 1.20 kg/m3 × airflow in m3/s × (h1 – h2) in kJ/kg (1-2)

ql (kW) = 3010 × airflow in m3/s × (w1 – w2) in kg/kg of dry air (1-3)

where the constant 3010 W is derived from the following:

2500 kJ/kg × 1.2 kg/m3 × 1.006 kJ/(kg·K) = 3010 W


where 2500 kJ/kg is the latent heat of water vapor and 1.006 kJ/(kg·K) is the
specific heat of air.

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

Temperature
The temperatures we are concerned about in HVAC systems are the follow-
ing:

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


with a standard thermometer in degrees Celsius (°C) without influence on
the thermometer by heat sources or solar heat gain.
• Wet-bulb temperature: The measure of the moist 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 ambient-
temperature water and, by rotation, move surrounding air across the sock.
The temperature will drop below ambient because of the evaporative or
cooling effect on the sensing bulb. It will continue to drop until most of the
water is evaporated into the surrounding air. 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 going back up to the ambient dry-bulb
temperature.
6 Chapter 2 Properties of Moist Air

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


point where water vapor starts to condense to liquid or be removed from
the air. This is also referred to as the condensation point, because it is the
temperature at which the water turns to liquid from vapor in the airstream.
• Saturation temperature: The temperature at which the air cannot hold
any additional 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:

• Humidity ratio: The mass in grams of water vapor per kilogram of dry air
(gw /kgda).
• Relative humidity: The actual amount of moisture in the air at a given dry-
bulb temperature versus the maximum amount of moisture in the air at the
same dry-bulb temperature. It is expressed in percentage because it is a par-
tial moisture/maximum moisture ratio. At constant moisture content, as
soon as the dry-bulb temperature changes, so does the relative humidity.

Enthalpy
The energy content of air is defined as the enthalpy of the air or the total
heat content of the air. It is expressed in kilojoules (kJ) per kilogram of dry air
(kJ/kgda). Again, warm/humid air can have the same enthalpy as hot/dry air, so
it takes the same amount of energy to cool either airstream to a comfortable
condition.

Specific Volume
Specific volume is the cubic metres per kilogram of dry air (m3/kgda). It is
the inverse of air density (kg/m3).
Note that specific volume changes as the dry-bulb temperature changes, but
not nearly as much as it changes with the effect of higher altitude.

Using Appendix A
The table in Appendix A lists thermodynamic properties of moist air at
101.325 kPa. For each dry-bulb temperature in °C, we have values for the fol-
lowing:

• Humidity ratio at saturation


• Specific volume at dry, saturated, and differential conditions
• Specific enthalpy at dry, saturated, and differential conditions
• Specific entropy at dry, saturated, and differential conditions (not used in
this text)

We will use this table as we go through the text.

The Modern Age of Psychrometrics


In this chapter, you will learn about the psychrometric chart and how to use
it in HVAC problems. You will see how to construct and then use the psychro-
metric chart.
The psychrometric chart was developed by Willis Carrier in the early
1900s. It has been refined over time for more accuracy to provide better results.
The chart contains seven important psychrometric variables, represented on the
chart by the following symbols:
tdb = dry-bulb temperature
twb = wet-bulb temperature
tdp = dew-point temperature
 = relative humidity
h = enthalpy
W = humidity ratio
v = specific volume

Creating the Psychrometric Chart


We will 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 Chapter 3 Introducing the Psychrometric Chart

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


from 0°C to 50°C. Note the Ws values are in kilograms and need to be multi-
plied by 1000 to derive grams. Then, put the y-axis (the vertical line on the
right side) on a linear scale from low on 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 vertical dry-bulb line. Remember,
the dry-bulb, wet-bulb, and dew-point temperatures are equal on the saturation
line. Lines of constant humidity 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-
zontally on the psychrometric chart.
Going to Figure 3-3, we can get the value of the enthalpy at saturation (hs)
and again plot that value 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 for a very close value in the hda column. Once we
find it, that dry-bulb temperature is the intersection point for that enthalpy line
with the x-axis.
For example, 15°C db has a value of 42.11 kJ/kg, so we plot this value at
the 15°C saturation temperature. We go to Appendix A and search for a value
of 42.11 kJ/kg in the hda column and find it at 42.1°C db. Those two points

establish the 42.11 kJ/kgda enthalpy line. Lines of constant enthalpy are sloped
and are solid dark.
Figure 3-3 also shows that lines of constant wet-bulb temperature are
almost parallel to lines of constant enthalpy. Lines of constant wet-bulb tem-
perature are sloped and dotted, as shown in Figure 3-4.
Figure 3-4 shows specific volume lines. We plot them by going to Appen-
dix 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 other 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 complete characteristics of a moist air parcel, even if only a small
amount of information is known about that parcel. More specifically, if any two
of the seven important psychrometric variables (tdb, tdp, twb, , h, v, W) of a
moist air sample are given (for a specific barometric pressure), then all of the
remaining ones can be determined immediately from the chart.

Example 3-1

Problem Given a sample of air where tdb = 21°C and  = 60% rh, determine 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 line indicates that the sat-
uration curve is crossed at a temperature of 13°C. This is the dew-point tem-
perature.

Example 3-2

Problem What is the enthalpy of the 21°C and 60% rh parcel of air from Example 3-1?

Solution Again using Figure 3-4, the location point is the same. Following the line of
constant enthalpy up the enthalpy scale reveals that the enthalpy of this point is
45 kJ/kgda.

Example 3-3

Problem Find the wet-bulb temperature for the point in Example 3-1.
Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), Second Edition 15

Figure 3-4 ASHRAE Psychrometric Chart No. 1.


16 Chapter 3 Introducing the Psychrometric Chart

Solution Again using Figure 3-4, follow the constant wet-bulb line to the saturation line,
then drop straight down to read a temperature of 16°C, the wet-bulb tempera-
ture.

Example 3-4

Problem Use Figure 3-4 to find the specific volume of tdb = 21°C and  = 60% rh.
Solution Finding this point on Figure 3-4 reveals that it is located between the values of
0.84 and 0.85 m3/kg for specific volume. Further inspection of the figure indi-
cates that there are more lines of constant specific volume that are unmarked. It
appears that each of these represents an increase of 0.01 m3/kgda. Therefore, it
can be determined that the intersection is a specific volume of 0.846 m3/kgda.

Example 3-5

Problem Using the psychrometric chart in Figure 3-4, find the tdb, tdp, twb, , and humid-
ity ratio W of a parcel of air that has a specific volume of 0.88 m3/kgda and an
enthalpy of 60 kJ/kgda.
Solution tdb = 32.3°C, tdp = 15.2°C, twb = 20.9°C,  = 36% rh, W = 10.8 g/kgda

Notice that the dew point and relative 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 ±1% can
be achieved.

Climatic Design Information


Outdoor weather conditions have a lot to do with the air conditioning and
heating processes described in this book. Climatic design information for the
United States, Canada, and other countries is provided in Appendix C.
For our examples, we will use the “2%” column under the “Cooling DB/
MCWB” heading in Appendix C as our design conditions. This means that
only 2% of the total hours, in an average year, are above the listed dry-bulb
temperature. Note that columns for 0.4% and 1% of the time are also shown.
Using a blank psychrometric chart and Appendix C, plot the outdoor
design conditions (tdb and mean coincident wet-bulb temperature [0.4%]) for
summer in the following cities (label them). You will use these outdoor design
points as we go further into this course.

• Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Psychrometric Chart for


Extended Temperature and Altitude
The psychrometric chart in Figure 3-4 is for sea level and normal tempera-
tures (0°C db to 50°C db). It is available from ASHRAE as Psychrometric
Chart No. 1.
Psychrometric charts are available at 750, 1500, and 2250 m elevations
(Charts No. 4 and No. 5), at low temperatures of –40°C to 10°C (sea level,
Chart No. 2), and at high temperatures of 10°C to 120°C (sea level, Chart No.
3).

The Power of the Psychrometric Chart


This chapter applies the processes discussed in Chapter 2 and the proper-
ties of moist air discussed in Chapter 3 to the psychrometric chart. But before
we start, we must first define two processes, sensible heat transfer and latent
heat transfer.
Sensible heat transfer (qs) is changing only the dry-bulb temperature of the
air and can be sensible cooling (lowering the temperature) or sensible heating
(raising the temperature). On the psychrometric chart, it is pure horizontal
movement, right to left or left to right only. We can use the following equation
for sensible heat change at sea level:

qs (W) = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2) in °C (4-1)

where airflow in cubic metres per second, t1 is the initial temperature, and t2 is
the final temperature.
Latent heat transfer (ql ) is changing only the moisture content of the air or
changing only the humidity ratio of the air. It is vertical-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:

ql (W) = 3010 × airflow × (W1 – W2) in g/kg of dry air (4-2)


22 Chapter 4 Air-Conditioning Processes on the Psychrometric Chart

where airflow in cubic metres per second, W1 is the initial humidity ratio, and
W2 is the final humidity ratio.

Sensible Cooling
We will first show the air conditioning process of sensible cooling. It is a
horizontal process on the psychrometric chart, moving from the right to left.
For example, our entering temperature (T) is at 38°C db, = 10% rh, and we cool
the air to 16°C db as shown in Figure 4-1. The leaving t2 is at 16°C db and  =
37% rh. Note the humidity ratio of W = 4.1 did not change.
If we apply our example airflow of 2.35 m3/s to the problem, then

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


= 1210 × 2.35 m3/s × (38°C – 16°C)
= 1210 × 2.35 × (22) = 62 550 W cooling

Sensible Heating
Next we will 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 (T) is 21°C db,  = 51% rh, and we heat
the air to 43°C db as shown in Figure 4-2. The leaving t2 is 43°C db and  =
14% rh. Note the humidity ratio of W = 7.9 did not change.

Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), Second Edition 23

If we apply our example airflow of 2.35 m3/s to our sensible heat equation,
then

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


= 1210 × 2.35 m3/s × (21°C – 43°C)
= 1210 × 2.35 × (22) = 62 550 W heating

Latent Heat Addition


The addition of latent heat, or the addition of moisture content to air, is the
next area of focus. It is a vertical movement, from bottom to top of the psy-
chrometric chart. For example, the entering conditions of tdb = 27°C and  =
18% rh have a W = 4.5 humidity ratio. The leaving conditions of tdb = 27°C
and  = 55% rh have a humidity ratio of W = 13, and the dry-bulb temperature
did not change, as shown in Figure 4-3. The latent heat required with our
example of 2.35 m3/s can be calculated as follows:
ql = 3010 × airflow × (W1 – W2)
= 3010 × 2.35 m3/s × (4.5 – 13)
= 3010 × 2.35 × (8.5) = 60 120 W

Latent Heat Removal


The removal of latent heat, or the lowering of moisture content to air, is the
process shown in Figure 4-4. The entering conditions of tdb = 24°C and  =

70% rh have a W = 13 humidity ratio. We remove moisture to the leaving con-


ditions of tdb = 24°C and  = 17% rh, which have a humidity ratio of W = 3.5.
The latent heat removed with our example of 2.35 m3/s is as follows:

ql = 3010 × airflow × (W1 – W2)


= 3010 × 2.35 m3/s × (13 – 3.5)
= 3010 × 2.35 × (9.5) = 67 200 W
It should be noted at this time that the processes shown in both Figures 4-3
and 4-4 are nearly impossible to do in the real world of HVAC as stand-alone
processes. When we humidify the air, we generally have to add heat to the air,
even if not desired (steam humidifier). When we dehumidify the air, we need
to cool the air dry-bulb temperature below the entering dew-point temperature
to start the moisture removal process, so we end up with cooled and dehumidi-
fied air.

Total Heat Content


We will now discuss the four air-conditioning processes that are combina-
tions of two simple processes. For these combination processes, we use the
enthalpy equation to get the total heat required (qt) at sea level:

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2) in kJ/kg of dry air (4-3)

where airflow in cubic metres per second, h1 is the initial enthalpy, and h2 is
the final enthalpy.
Let us start with the cooling and dehumidifying process, because it is the
most common in the HVAC industry. Movement on the psychrometric chart is
to the left (sensible) and down (latent) from the initial condition. See Figure 4-5
for the actual movement of the air.
Also, note that a gradual slope indicates a more sensible than latent load,
but a steeper slope shows a more latent than sensible load. The following
example will explain this combination process.
The entering conditions to our cooling coil are 27°C db and 18°C wb, with
h1 = 50.7. The air is cooled and dehumidified all the way down to 12°C db and
11.5°C wb with h2 = 33. We can find the total heat required by using our new
equation with our example of 2.35 m3/s:

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)


= 1.2 × 2.35 m3/s × (50.7 – 33)
= 1.2 × 2.35 × (17.7) = 49.91 kW or 49 910 W
We can get the same answer by using the individual sensible and latent heat
equations:

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


= 1210 × 2.35 m3/s × (27°C – 12°C)
= 1210 × 2.35 × (15) = 42 650 W

tion equation. Because we are “eyeballing” the values on our psychrometric
chart, it is not uncommon that these two answers are not exact and can be off
by a few percent. See Figure 4-6 for the breakdown of the sensible and latent
components.

Cooling and Humidifying


Cooling and humidifying is most easily explained with the process of evap-
orative cooling. Because evaporative cooling is a constant wet-bulb or adia-
batic cooling process, the total heat or enthalpy equation does not work. The
cooling of the air at dry-bulb 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 conditions to the evaporative cooler are 38°C db and  =10% rh,
resulting in a 17.5°C wb. We move upward and left on the 17.5°C wet-bulb line
the distance our evaporative media will provide. Our outlet conditions will be
18.5°C db, 17.5°C wb, and  =85% rh. Note that we have dropped the dry-bulb
temperature from 38°C to 18.5°C by using only water. At our 2.35 m3/s exam-
ple, we are able to obtain a sensible cooling of

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


= 1210 × 2.35 m3/s × (38°C – 18.5°C)
= 1210 × 2.35 × (19.5) = 55 450 W

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

gw /h = airflow × 1/v × (W1 – W2) × 3600


= 2.35 m3/s × 1/0.84 m3/kgda
× (4.5 – 12.5) gw /kgda × 3600 s/h
= 2.35 × 1/0.84 × (8) × 3600
= 80 570 g of water/h or 80.57 kg/h

Evaporative cooling 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 HVAC industry when it is desirable to attempt to maintain a space at or
above a minimum relative humidity setpoint. The movement on the psychro-
metric chart is to the right and towards the top, as shown in Figure 4-8.
In our example, we have an airstream at 18°C db and  = 20% rh, with 2.35
m at sea level. We want to maintain a room at 24°C db and  = 50% rh. We
3/s
can use our equation from the evaporative cooling example to solve for the
pounds of water per hour needed to increase the relative humidity of this air-
stream.

gw /h = airflow × 1/v × (W1 – W2) × 3600


= 2.35 m3/s × 1/0.85 m3/kgda
× (2.5 – 9.5) gw /kgda × 3600 s/h
= 2.35 × 1/0.85 × (7) × 3600
= 69 670 g/h

So, we can select a steam humidifier to provide a minimum output of 69.7


kgw /h to keep our space at up to 50% relative humidity.
We can also calculate the energy required to complete this process with the
total heat equation and the enthalpy at the entering and room conditions:

18°C db,  = 20% rh, h = 25 kJ/kgda


24°C db,  = 50% rh, h = 48 kJ/kgda

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)


= 1.2 × 2.35 m3/s × (25 – 48)
= 1.2 × 2.35 × (23) = 64.86 kW or 64 860 W

Another way to get this answer is to break the problem into the sensible
portion and the latent portion. The sensible portion is easy, 18°C db to
24°C db, or:

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


= 1210 × 2.35 m3/s × (18°C – 24°C)
= 17 060 W

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 18°C temperature and follow that to the right until you get to the
column labeled “Evap. hg” under the “Specific Enthalpy” heading and get 2533
kJ/kgw. The steam will reach equilibrium at 18°C db soon after injection into
the airstream. Because we know the grams of water per hour of the humidifier,
the latent portion is
30 Chapter 4 Air-Conditioning Processes on the Psychrometric Chart

ql = 69,670 gw /h × 2533 kJ/kgw


= 69.67 kg/h × 2533 kJ/kg = 176 470 kJ/h
176,470 kJ/h × 0.275 W/kJ = 48 530 W
Now we add the sensible and latent portions together:

qs + ql = qt
= 17 060 + 48 530
= 65 590 W
which is close to 64 860 W.
Remember, we are eyeballing all these values from the psychrometric
chart, so the actual values may be off ±1 or 2%.

Dehumidification and Heating


The last combination 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 collected in a pan at the bottom.
The other portion of the desiccant cycle is the regeneration process that
heats up the desiccant to drive off the moisture 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 example, we have our inlet conditions of 27°C db and  = 27% rh,
which gives a dew-point temperature of 6°C and which a mechanical vapor
compression refrigeration can easily reach.
However, our leaving conditions require a dew-point temperature of –3°C,
less than freezing (0°C), so mechanical cooling will not work.
Our leaving conditions with desiccant dehumidification are 35°C db and
 = 8% rh, for a dew-point temperature of –3°C.
Note that these conditions are something you may not see in normal human
comfort cooling, but they may be used in an industrial process or candy manu-
facturing facility. You will also have to contact a manufacturer for an exact
selection and the regeneration method they use.

Schematic of an Air-Conditioning System


To understand what an air-conditioning system is or what components it
has, it is best to look first at the room, or space, that it is to serve. This space is
to be occupied and maintained at some psychrometric condition (tdb and ).
This state is called the room design condition. This condition of temperature
and humidity is being constantly defeated by heat flowing through the building
envelope, coming in or going out. Furthermore, it is being changed by the
activities happening inside. Occupants are providing heat and moisture to the
space. There are machines and lights that transfer heat to the space as a byprod-
uct of their operation. There may be things that are cooling the room, and there
are things that are adding humidity to the room. These tend to change the inte-
rior room conditions. 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 this, some air is taken out of the room, conditioned, and returned
back to the space. This is done as depicted in the layout of a typical air-condi-
tioning system shown in Figure 5-1.

Mixing Airstreams—Cooling Systems


The mixing of two airstreams is common in HVAC systems to ensure the
proper ventilation amount in the occupied space. This involves mixing an

amount (fixed or variable) of outdoor air with a different amount of return or


room air to meet the ventilation code in your local area.
First, we will look at summer design conditions for a cooling application.
Assume our room design is tdb = 24°C and  = 50% rh, with an air outdoor
design temperature of tdb = 35°C and twb = 18°C. See the psychrometric chart
in Figure 5-2 for the plotted conditions.
Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), 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 straight line. We
can locate the exact location by using the following formula:

tma = [airflowoa (toa) + airflowra (tra)]/airflowsa (5-1)

where
tma = dry-bulb temperature of mixed air
airflowoa = volume of outdoor air
toa = temperature of outdoor air
airflowra = volume of return air
tra = temperature of return air
airflowsa = volume of supply air

Assume our HVAC system has a supply air volume (m3/ssa) of 11 m3/s and
a ventilation or outdoor air volume (m3/soa) of 2.2 m3/s. This means the return
or room air volume (m3/sra) is the difference between the supply air volume
and the return air volume, or

m3/ssa = m3/soa + m3/sra (5-2)

In our example, then,

11 m3/ssa = 2.2 m3/soa + 8.8 m3/sra

Then, our mixed-air dry bulb temperature is

tma = [2.2 m3/soa (35°C) + 8.8 m3/sra (24°C)]/11 m3/ssa


= [77 + 211.2]/11
= 26.2°C tdb
Now go back to the psychrometric chart in Figure 5-2 and plot the mixed-
air condition on this straight line at the intersection with the 26.2°C dry-bulb
line marked MA. So our mixed-air conditions for these two airstreams are tdb =
26.2°C and twb = 18°C. This is an important item to know because the cooling
coil will be sized using this condition as the entering air to this heat exchanger.

Mixing Airstreams—Heating Systems


Now we will look at the same example in the winter heating mode. Assume
a room design of tdb = 21°C and  = 40% rh with air outdoor design tempera-
ture of tdb = 0°C and  = 50% rh. 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 with a new straight line. Using the same for-
mula from the Mixing Airstreams—Cooling Systems section with different
temperatures and the same volume, we get:
38 Chapter 5 HVAC Design and the Psychrometric Chart

tma = [m3/soa (toa) + m3/sra (tra)]/m3/ssa


= [2.2 m3/s (0°C) + 8.8 m3/s (21°C)]/11 m3/s
= [0.22 + 184.8]/11
= 16.8°C

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 16.8°C dry-
bulb temperature line. This results in a mixing of these two airstreams at tdb =
16.8°C and twb = 10.5°C. This will be the entering air condition for the heating
coil used in our system.
One special note on heating mixed airstreams is that we need only the dry-
bulb temperature to select our heating coil or heat exchanger. The wet-bulb
temperature becomes important only if humidification is needed in the HVAC
system serving this area.

Sensible Heat Ratio—Cooling


Sensible heat ratio (SHR) is a very important concept in HVAC psychro-
metric analysis. With the proper use of SHR, we will ensure that both the room
dry-bulb temperature and room relative humidity are met in our design. It will
ensure our room supply air dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity are cold
and dry enough to achieve the room design conditions. Failure 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 example, we will use a space with a sensible heat gain of 80 000 W
and a latent heat gain of 20 000 W, for a total load of 100 000 W. Our room
SHR is

80 000
SHR = ------------------- = 0.8
100 000

We plot the room conditions of tdb = 24°C and  = 50% rh on a psychro-


metric chart as shown in Figure 5-4. Then we draw a line 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 this 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 = 24°C and  = 50% rh. These air conditions are the leaving
air temperature off the cooling coil 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:

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)

We plot the intersection of the SHR line and a condition around 90% rh to
the left of the room condition in Figure 5-4. We have selected a leaving air tem-
perature of tdb = 12°C and  = 87% rh as the desired cooling coil leaving air
temperature. It is best practice to contact a cooling coil manufacturer (or run

that would perform to these conditions with a volume of

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)

80 000 - = 5.5 m3/s
airflow = -----------------------
1210  12

So, our cooling coil needs to provide a leaving air temperature of tdb =
12°C and  = 87% rh at our entering air temperature of tdb = 24°C and  = 50%
rh, with 5.5 m3/s of airflow through the coil.
We could also have picked a leaving air temperature of tdb = 15°C and  =
76% rh, resulting in an volume of

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


80 000 = 1210 × airflow × (24°C – 15°C)
80 000 –
airflow = ------------------------ = 7.3 m3/s
1210  15

We may or may not have been able to find a cooling coil to perform this
duty, because the leaving relative humidity is not close to 90%. Coils that
dehumidify typically have a leaving relative humidity close to 90%.
By providing this supply air quantity (airflow), supply air dry-bulb tem-
perature, and relative humidity, we will ensure that our room design conditions
are satisfied.

Sensible Heat Ratio—Cooling with Outdoor Air


This section covers the psychrometric process that is added to the SHR pro-
cess to account for the outdoor air (ventilation air) in our HVAC system.
We will use the same outdoor air design conditions of tdb = 35°C and twb =
24°C 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 tdb = 26.2°C and twb = 18°C
from our calculation of supply air as 5.5 m3/s with the values from the previous
example of outdoor air as 1.1 m3/s and return air as 4.4 m3/s.

tma = [airflowoa (toa) + airflowra (tra)]/airflowsa


= [1.1 m3/s (35°C) + 4.4 m3/s (24°C)]/5.5 m3/s
= [38.5 + 105.6]/5.5 m3/s
= [144.1]/5.5 m3/s
= 26.2°C tdb

Again, go to the tdb = 26.2°C scale on the psychrometric chart and go up


until you intersect the mixed-air line. That is our entering air condition to the
cooling coil, tdb = 26.2°C and twb = 18°C. We still need to cool the air down to

Dry-Bulb Temperature

Figure 5-5 SHR for cooling with outdoor air shown on the psychrometric chart.

twb = 12°C and  = 87% rh to meet our room conditions. To calculate the total
cooling coil load, use the follow total heat equation:

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)


= 1.2 × 5.5 m3/s × (53 kJ/kg – 32 kJ/kg)
= 138.6 kW or 138 600 W

Note the increased cooling requirement due to the addition of outdoor air
into the HVAC system. The room total load was 100,000 W and the outdoor air
is an additional 38 600 W total. We can also calculate the room-only coil load
with the same total heat equation:

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)


= 1.2 × 5.5 m3/s × (47 kJ/kg – 32 kJ/kg)
= 1.2 × 5.5 m3/s × (15 kJ/kg)
= 99 kW or 99 000 W

Notice that this is not exactly the same as the 100 000 W total heat gain, but
it is very close and within acceptable tolerance for HVAC calculations.

Psychrometric Process—Heating
This section uses the same HVAC system we’ve been discussing to show
how to handle the heating requirements of our space. The air handler has the
same 5.5 m3/s. Assume our space has a heat loss of 90 000 W and all this load
is sensible load. Our sensible heat is as follows:

Dry-Bulb Temperature

Figure 5-6 The heating process shown on the psychrometric chart.

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


= 1210 × 5.5 m3/s × (t1 – t2)
= 90 000 W

The heating room design tdb = 21°C and  = 40% rh. So, our t1 = 21°C and

qs = 90 000 W
90 000 = 1210 × 5.5 m3/s × (21 – t2)
90 000 = 6655 × (21 – t2)
90 000
----------------- =  21 – t 2 
6655
13.5°C = (21 – t2)
t2 = 34.5°C db

So, if we supply 34.5°C warm air to our space on the coldest winter day, we
will keep the space at tdb = 21°C. See Figure 5-6 for how to show the heating
process on a psychrometric chart.
Now we add the need for humidification in the winter to our space. Assume,
for example, that we need to add 15 000 W of latent heating in the form of
moisture or water vapor. Our outdoor design is tdb = 0°C and  = 50% rh. We
add 20% outdoor air into our HVAC system and our new entering air conditions
are tdb = 16.8°C and  = 44% rh. The new total heating required is

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)


= 1.2 × 5.5 m3/s × (52 kJ/kg – 29 kJ/kg)

Figure 5-7 Humidification need shown on the psychrometric chart.

= 1.2 × 5.5 m3/s × (23 kJ/kg)


= 151.8 kW or 151 800 W
An interesting part of this analysis is that the leaving air temperature from
the heating coil has been increased to approximately tdb = 35.3°C to account
for the temperature drop the humidified 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 of tdb = 16.8°C and  = 44% rh with a humidity ratio
of W1 = 6.5 gw /kgda and leaving conditions of tdb = 34.5°C and  = 20% rh
with a humidity ratio of W2 = 7.5 gw /kgda. Use the following formula:
g/h = airflow × 1/Sv × (W1 – W2) × 3600 s/h
= 5.5 m3/s × 1/0.88 m3/kg × (6.5 g/kg – 7.5 g/kg) × 3600 s/h
= 22 500 g/h of water
We will discuss humidification more in the next chapter as we differentiate
between steam and water spray humidification.

The Air-Handling Unit:


Heart of the Commercial Air-Conditioning System
In Chapter 5, psychrometrics was used to determine the technical charac-
teristics of the air-conditioning system required to perform a specific function.
Psychrometrics was used to convert this information into the necessary volume
and supply air conditions for both heating and cooling. These conditions not
only determined the capacity of the unit in watts but also specified the amount
of dehumidification and humidification by determining the entering and leav-
ing dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures for both the heating and cooling coils.
A manufacturer will usually package all (or most) of the components of an
HVAC 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 list of available sizes and capabilities to
match the specific application. So that the AHU manufacturer can deliver the
proper unit for the application, the design engineer must provide all of the nec-
essary information.

Psychrometrics of a Cooling Coil


Let’s start this discussion on what actually happens in a dehumidifying
cooling coil as the air goes through it. The entering side of the coil is warmer
than the leaving side of the coil. Therefore, the first few rows of the cooling

coil are doing sensible cooling only, as can be seen in Figure 6-2, the cooling
coil line. Note, it is horizontal and moving to the left side of the psychrometric
chart.
As the air moves further into the coil, the dehumidification process is start-
ing as the cooling coil starts curving downward and to the left. The maximum
dehumidification occurs just before the air exits the coil and generally leaves
the coil around  = 90% rh. Again, refer to Figure 6-2 to see the final curve
showing the completed dehumidification and cooling process.
Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), Second Edition 49

Assume a fan has an airflow of 2.0 m3/s, entering conditions of tdb = 28°C
and twb = 20°C (with outdoor air mixed), and desired leaving conditions of tdb
= 11°C and approximately  = 90% rh. Now we can calculate the total cooling
capacity of the cooing coil with the total heat equation discussed in Chapter 4:

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)


= 1.2 × 2.0 m3/s × (58 – 32 kJ/kg)
= 1.2 × 2.0 m3/s × (26 kJ/kg)
= 62.4 kW or 62 400 W
We can now plot the cooling coil 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 HVAC engineer must provide the above information to the man-
ufacturer of the cooling coils so they can provide an actual selection of either a
chilled-water coil or a direct expansion (DX) refrigerant coil. Their output
would include the size, height, width, number of coil rows, pressure drop (air
pressure and water pressure, if a chilled-water coil), chilled-water temperature
rise (you must supply the entering chilled-water temperature), and the actual
leaving air conditions.

Psychrometrics 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. All 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 7.46 kW to move 4.72 m3/s against of
750 Pa total pressure.

7.46 kW × 1000 = 7460 W


Because the fan is moving 4.72 m3/s, we can use the sensible heat equation
discussed in Chapter 4 to calculate the actual temperatures:

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


7460 W = 1210 × 4.72 m3/s × (t1 – t2)
(t1 – t2) = 1.3°C temperature rise

So, we have the addition of 1.3°C fan heat to account for in our psychro-
metric analysis.
Fan heat is the addition of sensible heat, horizontal moving to the right on
the psychrometric chart, either before the cooling coil (blow-through fan) or
after the cooling coil (draw-through fan). Be careful with draw-through fans,
because with these fans the fan leaving air temperature is higher than the cool-
ing coil leaving air temperature. It is an additional load that must be accounted
for in cooling heat gain calculations.
50 Chapter 6 Psychrometrics in HVAC Equipment

ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Systems and Equipment (2012) gives a gen-


eral estimate of fan heat as approximately 0.8°C per 750 Pa of total fan pres-
sure. In this example we calculated a little over 1°C, while this general estimate
would have given us 0.8°C. Therefore, it is better to perform the calculations.

Psychrometrics of a Heating Coil


The process of heating air is a sensible-heating-only psychrometric prob-
lem, which means that the point moves from left to right horizontally across
the psychrometric chart.
This example again uses 2.0 m3/s airflow and the entering conditions to the
hot water coil of tdb = 15°C and approximately  = 30% rh (with outdoor air
mixed) and a leaving condition of tdb = 34°C. See Figure 6-3 for the process of
heating and use the following equation:

qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)


= 1210 × 2.0 m3/s × (15°C – 34°C)
= 1210 × 2.0 × (19°C)
= 45 980 W
Even if you forget that the process is sensible heating only, using the total
heat equation discussed in Chapter 4 will give you almost the same result as
shown below:
qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)
= 1.2 × 2.0 m3/s × (43 – 24 kJ/kg)
= 1.2 × 2.0 m3/s × (19 kJ/kg)
= 45.6 kW or 45 600 W

Humidification Equipment
Humidification equipment can be divided into two groups: 1) isothermal or
constant temperature and 2) adiabatic or moisture evaporating (see Figure 6-4).
Isothermal humidification generally involves steam humidifiers, with many
ways of steam generation, and addition of moisture to an airstream at a con-
stant temperature.
Adiabatic humidification is moisture evaporating and involves sprayed,
atomized, media, or ultrasonic humidifiers. These humidifiers lower the air
temperature as they add moisture to the airstream and are the same as evapora-
tive coolers.
In all methods of humidification, the following formula can be used to cal-
culate the amount of water that must be added to the airstream in pounds of
water per hour:

g/h = airflow in m3/s × ---- × (w1 –w2) × 3600 s/h

Isothermal humidification is shown in Figure 6-5 and has entering air con-
ditions of tdb = 32°C and  = 20% rh and leaving air conditions of tdb = 32°C
and  = 40% rh. The humidity ratio increases from 7 to 13. Note that the dry-
bulb temperature stays the same even though we have added moisture to the
airstream.
Adiabatic humidification is shown in Figure 6-6 and has entering air condi-
tions of tdb = 32°C and  = 20% rh and leaving air conditions of tdb = 28°C and
 = 36% rh. The humidity ratio is increased from 7 to 8.5. Note that the dry-
bulb temperature decreases in the process of adding moisture to the air.
Be careful to not humidify the airstream at greater than  = 90% rh. The
dew-point temperature of the interior surface of the ductwork is very import-
ant, and failure to observe this rule will result in condensation in the ductwork
that will eventually leak out and cause a problem in the building. Please work
closely with a humidifier supplier to make sure you are following all the appli-
cation rules of that product and system.

Constant-Volume and Variable-Air-Volume Systems


This chapter covers the major types of HVAC air systems. They can be
divided into two major types: 1) constant-volume, variable air temperature and
2) variable-air-volume, constant air temperature.
Constant-volume systems deliver the same volume, or airflow, at all load
conditions and change the supply air dry-bulb temperature as the load changes.
The load changes as the time of day changes, as the time of year changes, as
the occupancy changes, as the internal loads change, and as the solar load
changes. The room thermostat senses these changes in load and adjusts the
supply air temperature accordingly to maintain the room at a constant tempera-
ture.
In a chilled-water cooling, constant-volume air handler, the chilled-water
coil has a control valve, 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 chilled-water valve positions to match the large
number of load conditions.
In a direct expansion (DX) system, which has refrigerant in direct contact
with the cooling coil 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 can bring on additional capacity if
the room temperature rises or remove capacity if the room temperature drops.
58 Chapter 7 Psychrometrics in Zoned HVAC Systems

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


almost never met; the room temperature actually fluctuates around the setpoint,
approximately ±0.5°C or ±1°C. In most cases, this fluctuation in room tem-
peratures can still provide an acceptable comfort level, but not one as good as a
chilled-water system.
Note that some newer styles of DX systems have variable-refrigerant-flow
capacity, which can provide a greater level of comfort in the room. These sys-
tems can better match the refrigerant flow required to handle the room’s load
variations, thus providing better comfort than stepped DX systems.
Variable-air-volume (VAV) systems deliver a variable amount of volume,
or airflow, at all load conditions at a constant supply air dry-bulb temperature.
Again, the load changes with the five variables mentioned above. The room
thermostat senses these load changes and adjusts the quantity of air delivered
to the space so the room air temperature remains constant. Note that all VAV
systems do a very good job of part-load room humidity control, as the main air
handler cools and dehumidifies the air at all load conditions to a constant dew-
point temperature.
In most cases, with modern air-handling systems, the air volume (airflow)
is changed with a variable-frequency drive (VFD) wired to the electric fan
motor. Because input frequency determines the speed of rotation in induction
electric motors as the load changes, the VFD frequency output matches the air-
flow required by adjusting the fan speed.
VAV air handlers can have chilled-water or DX cooling coils installed in
them. With chilled water, the chilled-water control valve is infinitely variable
and can be controlled to maintain a constant supply air temperature as the air
volume goes up and down in response to load changes. With DX cooling coils,
the supply air temperature changes in stages, up and down, as the load changes
and the airflow increases or decreases. Again, even with stages, you can still
obtain acceptable room comfort.
One final point: you can use many small fan-coils to provide a lot of zone
control in a large building, but each fan-coil is a constant-volume, single-zone
subsystem.

Constant-Volume, Single-Zone System


Constant-volume, single-zone systems are the most commonly used in
HVAC and come in many forms. They include single-zone air-handling room
fan-coils, packaged DX single-zone rooftop systems, and residential split sys-
tems, to name a few. They have one common trait: the unit is controlled by one
room thermostat only. Therefore, they can be applied to only one zone and pro-
vide room comfort to only one zone.
A zone, by definition, has like occupancy and like thermal characteristics
but does not have a defined size. For example, a large interior cubical office
area could be a zone as large as 185 m2 if the density and usage are uniform
throughout. It could also be a zone as small as 6 m2 with a row of exterior, indi-
vidual offices lining an outside wall.

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

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


room’s sensible and latent loads, the room’s sensible heat ratio (SHR), and
either the quantity of outdoor air needed or the code-required ventilation rate.
It is shown at full load in Figure 7-1. In all examples in this chapter, we will
use room design conditions of tdb = 24°C and  = 50% rh and 20% outdoor air
for ventilation.
Next, look at the psychrometric chart in Figure 7-2 for part-load operation.
The part-load supply air temperature is higher than the design temperature
because the room thermostat is calling for less cooling. Depending on the part-
load SHR, the room relative humidity may not be met at this part-load condi-
tion. So you must determine if this deviation above the design  = 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-load conditions.

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 conditions. The control 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 this 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 this design in a sys-

tem, you should look for ways to use recovered energy to provide the reheat.
Recovered energy sources could be condenser heat from the cooling system,
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 relative humidity condition. The psychrometrics of this system
at full load are exactly 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 this type in our psychrometric training process nonetheless. This system is
basically a single-zone air handler with a cooling coil plus an extra damper sec-
tion; see Figure 7-4 for all the components. The dampers are used to adjust the
amount of supply air that goes through the cooling coil or the amount of mixed
air that bypasses the cooling coil, thus the name face and bypass.
The damper is controlled by the room thermostat as it maintains a constant
room dry-bulb temperature. As the room temperature drops, the dampers are
adjusted to open the bypass section and close down on the face section, raising
the air handler supply dry-bulb temperature. The opposite is true if the room

temperature rises: the damper adjusts for less bypass air and more cooling coil
air to lower the air handler supply temperature.
The psychrometrics of this system at part load are show in Figure 7-5. Note
that the cooling coil supply air temperature decreases as we decrease the air-
flow through the cooling coil at part load. Therefore, this system does a much
better job of maintaining the room relative humidity at part load than a con-
stant-volume, variable-temperature, single-zone system.
The psychrometrics of the face and bypass system at full load are the same
as shown in Figure 7-1 because no air is being bypassed at full load. The room
thermostat is calling for full cooling, so 100% of the supply air is being cooled
in the cooling coil.

Constant-Volume System with Terminal Reheat


Now we shift our focus to HVAC air systems that are designed to serve
many zones from one air handler. The constant-volume with terminal reheat
system was the primary commercial office space system from the 1940s to the
mid-1970s. The system is fairly simple: a single-zone air handler supplies air
ducted throughout the building, and then reheat coils are put in each duct
runout to serve any individual zones.
The air handler ensures a constant leaving supply air temperature all year
round, and each reheat coil 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 air is constantly being dehumidified. However, this system is very
expensive to operate because it is both cooling and reheating throughout the
day, month, and year. Also, most energy codes, such as ANSI/ASHRAE/IES
Standard 90.1 (ASHRAE 2013) and California’s Title 24 (CBSC 2013), 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 VAV was invented.
The psychrometrics of this system at full load are the same as those shown
in Figure 7-1.
The psychrometrics of this system at part load are the same as those shown
in Figure 7-2, with the exception that each zone has a separate psychrometric

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 multiple zones by mixing cool air with warm air so that the dis-
charge supply air temperature is satisfied 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 multizone system, the blow-through air handler has the mixing 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 full open, the
cold deck is full closed and vice versa. Control of the air handler is simply a
constant deck temperature for each, say tdb = 12°C for the cold deck and tdb =
40°C for the hot deck. A single 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 warm 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 handler 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, multizone 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 supply 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
installed and dual taps are run to the cool deck duct and the hot deck duct. The
mixing box has two dampers on a common shaft offset by 90° rotation with a
single actuator. The room thermostat is connected to this actuator to provide
zone comfort. The air handler again has controls to maintain constant leaving

cold-deck and hot-deck temperatures. The operation of this system is identical


to that of the multizone system. Figure 7-7 shows a constant-volume, dual-duct
system.
Both of these systems are very expensive to operate because both decks are
kept at a constant leaving air temperature and achieve comfort by mixing both
airstreams. Their use is restricted by most energy codes due to the high energy
usage required for proper operation.
The psychrometrics of the multizone and dual-duct systems are shown in
Figure 7-8. Note the mixing line from the cold-deck discharge at tdb = 12°C

and  = 87% rh to the hot-deck discharge at tdb = 40°C and  = 22% rh. The
actual discharge temperature can be any one of an infinite number of points
along this line, and each zone can be at a different discharge point. Also note
that we can heat and cool with this mixing of airstreams at each zone.
Exercise caution to make sure that the cold-deck dry-bulb temperature is
low enough to satisfy the SHR for the worst zone and that the hot-deck tem-
perature is warm enough to satisfy the heat loss of the worst zone.
Figure 7-9 shows the psychrometrics of multizone and dual-duct systems in
winter heating mode. In this example, the room is at tdb = 21°C and  = 40%
rh, with an outdoor design of tdb = 0°C and  = 50% rh. The mixed condition is
tdb = 16°C and  = 45% rh. The cooling coil line is sensible cooling only, or
horizontal, and ends at tdb = 12°C and  = 57% rh. The heating coil line is sen-
sible heating only and ends at tdb = 41°C and  = 12% rh. Note that because
both the cooling and heating are sensible only (no latent), the hot-deck and
cold-deck mixing line is the sum of the cooling coil line and the heating coil
line. Any zone will require supply 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-air-volume (VAV) systems made their debut and are still very
popular today, as they provide great fan horsepower savings for most of the
year.

66 Chapter 7 Psychrometrics in Zoned HVAC Systems

An air handler with a single supply duct and a VFD on the supply fan pro-
vides a constant discharge air temperature of tdb = 12°C to the building. As
zones are required, a VAV box is tapped into this main supply trunk.
The VAV 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 air-throt-
tling device that provides comfort to the zone. At full load in the zone, the VAV
box is wide open in response to the room thermostat. At all part-load condi-
tions, the VAV box has its damper closed some amount in response to lower
demand for cooling in the zone.
The psychrometrics for VAV systems are the same as shown in Figure 7-1
for each zone on the AHU. Again, make sure the air handler leaving supply air
dry-bulb temperature is low enough to satisfy the worst zone’s SHR. Now at
part load we simply go to the sensible heat equation, qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 –
t2), to determine how we handle the VAV operation.
Because the supply air temperature is constant year round, we reduce the
sensible heat by simply reducing the airflow delivered to the zone. If we want
half of the sensible load, we only supply half the airflow to the zone. The
room thermostat controls the actuator on the damper shaft to keep the zone
comfortable.
So, at most part-load conditions, the psychrometrics do not change—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 VAV box is a cooling-only box and can typically only be used
for the building 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 VAV boxes: VAV reheat boxes and fan-
powered VAV boxes that can have reheat as needed. Note that the central air
handler does not change with this design—we have cooling-only boxes on the
interior and heating boxes on the exterior.
To build a VAV 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, steam, or electric
duct heater in design.
The psychrometrics of a VAV reheat box at full load are the same as shown
in Figure 7-1. As the demand for cooling 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. The
controls modulate the amount of reheat or temperature rise in response to the
room thermostat. The psychrometrics are shown in Figure 7-10, with the maxi-
mum reheat to a dry-bulb temperature of 35°C. Remember, only reheat to a
discharge air temperature into the zone that will satisfy the room thermostat.

Figure 7-10 Psychrometrics of a VAV reheat box at part load.

To construct a fan-powered VAV box that can also have reheat as needed,
add a sheet metal plenum on the side of a cooling-only box with a small direct-
drive centrifugal fan. The fan can draw plenum air through an air filter and dis-
charge it into the cooling box downstream of the cooling control damper. A
back-draft damper is required on the discharge of the centrifugal fan. This is
considered a parallel fan-powered box.
The control is similar to that of a VAV 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 airflow, say 35% of the full-load airflow, we fix 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 flow tdb = 12°C to discharge warmer air into
the zone and meet the room thermostat setpoint. This ceiling plenum air can be
1.5°C to 3°C higher than the room temperature as long as the building is occu-
pied, because it has the heat of the lights 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 tdb =
12°C and  = 87% rh with plenum air at tdb = 26°C 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 coil could be mounted on the box discharge 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.

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 this text focuses on only the most commonly used
in HVAC: heat recovery devices, energy recovery devices, air-side economiz-
ers, water-side economizers, and supply air temperature reset. We will examine
the psychrometric processes and the energy-saving effects of these five sys-
tems.

Heat Recovery Devices


Heat recovery is the exchange of dry-bulb air temperature only between
two airstreams. In an HVAC system, this is typically between the outdoor air
used for ventilation and the common building exhaust airstream. The greater
the temperature difference that exists between the two airstreams, the more we
can affect the HVAC performance. This is also called sensible heat recovery,
because we only change the dry-bulb temperature.
The four most common types of heat recovery devices are heat 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 coil run-
around loop.

and the other half is located in the incoming outdoor airstream. In the winter, as
the wheel rotates slowly, the cold outdoor air is preheated by the warmer
exhaust airstream that is being dumped outdoors. The individual pockets
change temperature rapidly as the wheel rotates from one airstream to the other
and back again.
In the summer, the wheel also precools the hot outdoor air with indoor
room-temperature exhaust air from the building. Note that this device must be
ducted and positioned in such a way that the airstreams are next to each other
somewhere in the system. Also, a small amount of cross-contamination occurs
between the airstreams, so care must be taken depending on the application.
For example, exhaust air from an office building (toilet, break room, janitorial
Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), Second Edition 75

closets, etc.) is generally acceptable to use, but exhaust from hospital 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 side 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 higher than the design required amount to cover this 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 going across the coil is a separate chamber filled with
a very small refrigerant charge. Each 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 warm exhaust air, which vaporizes the refrigerant,
absorbing the heat from the warm airstream. By natural pressure difference, the
warm refrigerant vapor migrates to the colder side, where it condenses. The
coil is tilted slightly so the liquid refrigerant flows 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 are connected by two pipes and one pump to move the gly-
col-water solution from one coil to the other. They transfer heat from the
exhaust airstream to the outdoor airstream by warming up and then cooling
down the pumped glycol-water solution. The advantage of this system is that
the airstreams can be located great distances from each other. There is no
cross-contamination with this device.

Psychrometric Effects and Savings of Heat Recovery


Figure 8-3 shows winter temperature-change-only heat recovery. The
exhaust airstream is at tdb = 21°C and  = 40% rh and 0.7 m3/s. The outdoor
airstream is at tdb = 0°C and  = 50% rh and 0.94 m3/s. Note: Typically more
outdoor air is brought in than exhausted to positively pressurize the building to
keep the indoor environment clean and dust free.
However, we must first introduce the concept of heat exchanger effective-
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 will use 60%
effectiveness.

If the exhaust airstream were cooled from tdb = 21°C to tdb = 0°C the max-
imum amount of sensible heat transfer would be
qs = qmax = 1210 × airflow × (t1 – t2)
= 1210 × 0.7 m3/s × (21 – 0)
qmax = 17 780 W

Because the effectiveness is 60%, the transferred heat is


qmax × effectiveness = qtransferral
17 780 W × (0.6) = 10 668 W
Then the outdoor air is warmed to

qs = 10 668 W = 1210 × 0.94 m3/s × (0 – t2) difference

Figure 8-4 Heat recovery in the summer.

So 10 668 W of energy has been conserved by preheating the outdoor air


by 9.4°C and therefore lowering the operating cost in the process.
Next, we will look at the process in the summer with outdoor design condi-
tions of tdb = 35°C and  = 40% rh and room conditions of tdb = 24°C and  =
50% rh, as shown in Figure 8-4.

qs = qmax = 1210 × 0.7 m3/s × (35 – 24)


= 1210 × 0.7 m3/s × (11)
qmax = 9317 W

Using the same effectiveness of 60%,

qs = qmax × (0.60) = qtransferral


qtransferral = 9317 W × (0.60)
= 5590 W

So we cool the outdoor air sensibly by

qs = 5590 W = 1210 × 0.94 m3/s × (35 – t2)


5590
------------ = 4.9C =  35 – t 2 
1137
t2 = 30.1°C
78 Chapter 8 Energy Conservation and Psychrometrics

And we warm the exhaust air by

qs = 5590 W = 1210 × 0.7 m3/s × (24 – t2)


5590
------------ = 6.5C =  24 – t 2 
8471
t2 = 30.5°C

An air-to-air heat exchanger was used in this example, but the same proce-
dure applies to the other three heat recovery devices—only the effectiveness
will change.

Condensation and Frost Formation


We must consider two other items 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 = 7°C, then condensation
would occur on a small portion of the heat transfer surface. Be sure to specify
these devices with a condensate drain to properly collect this water.
Frost can form on the leaving side of the exhaust air in the heat recovery
device when the outdoor air gets to temperatures of –12°C or less. In the win-
ter, because the exhaust air dew-point temperature is almost always above 2°C,
this is a design consideration in Climate Zones 4 to 8 (ASHRAE 2013). Frost
formation in the heat recovery device decreases the exhaust airflow and
reduces the device’s effectiveness.
The methods used to prevent frost formation on heat recovery devices are
as follows:

• Preheat the outdoor airstream to some preset temperature entering the


device (e.g., –12°C) (all types of heat recovery devices).
• Install a set of bypass 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 control valve in the glycol piping to control the glycol
solution inlet temperature on the exhaust coil to somewhere around –1°C,
thus preventing frost formation (run-around loop).
• Increase the rotational speed of the heat wheel so the outdoor air does not
cool the heat transfer part of the wheel to below around –1°C (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 wheel looks
identical to a heat recovery wheel that transfers temperature only. However, the
heat transfer material in an energy recovery device is coated with a desiccant
material that absorbs water vapor and then rejects the water vapor to the other
Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), Second Edition 79

airstream. So in winter, the moisture in the warmer building air is transferred to


the very dry outdoor air, thus helping maintain the indoor relative humidity.
And in the summer, the cool 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: 1) rotary energy wheels and
2) plate air-to-air heat exchangers with moisture transfer plates that are not
solid metal in construction. Following are performance examples of an energy
recovery rotary wheel. Summer performance with a total energy effectiveness
of 0.87 is shown in Figure 8-5 and is as follows:
Outdoor air conditions: tdb = 35°C, twb = 24°C, outdoor air = 1.08 m3/s
Supply air conditions: tdb = 28°C, twb = 20°C, supply air = 0.94 m3/s
Return air conditions: tdb = 24°C, twb = 16°C, return air = 0.7 m3/s
Exhaust air conditions: tdb = 33°C, twb = 24°C, exhaust air = 0.84 m3/s

Note the leakage airflow is 0.14 m3/s and the outdoor air total cooling load
reduction is

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)


= 1.2 × 0.94 m3/s × (69 – 54)
= 1.2 × 0.94 m3/s × (15)
= 16.92 kW or 16 920 W

The cooling system only needs to cool the outdoor air from tdb = 28°C and
twb = 20°C to tdb = 24°C and  = 50% rh instead of from tdb = 35°C and twb =
24°C, which reduces the cooling energy costs.
Winter performance with the same effectiveness is shown in Figure 8-6 and
is as follows:

Outdoor air conditions: tdb = 0°C, twb = –3°C, outdoor air = 1.08 m3/s
Supply air conditions: tdb = 13°C, twb = 9°C, supply air = 0.94 m3/s
Return air conditions: tdb = 21°C, twb = 13°C, return air = 0.94 m3/s
Exhaust air conditions: tdb = 3°C, twb = 0°C, exhaust air = 0.84 m3/s

The outdoor air heating load is reduced by

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)


= 1.2 × 0.94 m3/s × (41 – 6)
= 1.2 × 0.94 m3/s × (35)
= 39.48 kW or 39 480 W

The outdoor air now has only to be heated from tdb = 13°C to tdb = 21°C
instead of from tdb = 0°C, which reduces the cooling energy costs, as with the
winter operation.

Note that in both cases of heating and cooling to the outdoor air, the humid-
ity ratio changes so you are not only transferring sensible heat, but also latent
heat. This latent heat helps maintain the indoor room relative humidity 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 air
tdb = 12°C. Then, any time of the year that the outdoor air temperature is tdb =
12°C or less, we can shut the mechanized refrigeration off and open our out-
door air dampers to 100%, pulling in 12°C air. Now this 12°C 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 example, the outdoor air temperature is tdb = 18°C and your room is at
tdb = 24°C. Instead of cooling the air from 24°C down to 12°C for the supply
air, you only have to cool the air from 18°C to 12°C with mechanical refrigera-
tion. In this example, the refrigeration load is reduced approximately 50%. So
partial 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% rh. In this instance, use the outdoor air
enthalpy instead of the dry-bulb temperature to initiate partial economizing.
The outdoor enthalpy should be at least 8 kJ/kgda less than the room enthalpy
condition before you allow partial economizing. This is less of a concern on
VAV systems since they control to a constant leaving cooling air temperature at
all load conditions.
Note that with the air-side economizer option the air-handling system must
be capable of bringing in up to 100% outdoor air. This means the outdoor air
weather louvers, outdoor air duct, and outdoor air dampers must all be sized
and selected for the full airflow of the air handler.
Also, because you 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 this will result in the exterior doors staying partially open, not fully
closing.

Water-Side Economizer
The water-side economizer system was developed to provide cooling via
the chilled-water system to air-handling systems that do not have any outdoor
82 Chapter 8 Energy Conservation and Psychrometrics

air connection or have minimum outdoor air capability. For this energy-saving
option, you must have a chilled-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 only. For example, the ambient is tdb = 35°C and twb = 24°C, as in
our previous examples. The cooling tower has a 3°C approach temperature at
full load or heat rejection. This means the cooling tower can produce 27°C
leaving cooling tower water, or twb = 24°C + 3°C = 27°C. In the process of
cooling the water down to 27°C, a portion of the recirculating water is evapo-
rated by slightly cooling the air (lower tdb) 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 cools in the fall, winter, and spring, so does the outdoor
wet-bulb temperature. Also, the building sensible load decreases in these non-
peak cooling seasons. For example, the ambient temperature is tdb = 4°C and
twb = 1°C. We also have the same approach temperature at part load of 3°C (if
the tower is at full load and the same ambient conditions, the approach would
be around 6°C).
So this tower will make 7°C leaving condenser water. If our heat exchanger
has a 1°C approach temperature, then we can make 8°C chilled water to be dis-
tributed throughout the building to provide cooling where needed. See Figure
8-7 for 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-

Figure 8-7 Water-side economizer schematic.


Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), Second Edition 83

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 cleanable. So, because both can have the condenser
water debris easily 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 air temperature reset works because in almost all comfort cooling
system applications, the sensible 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 discussed in Chapter 4, qs = 1210 × airflow × (t1 –
t2), and if our airflow is constant, then the t can be half to produce half the
sensible cooling. Consider: if we have airflow = 2000, a summer peak supply
air temperature of tdb = 12°C, and a room condition of tdb = 24°C, then
Full sensible cooling: qs full = 1210 × 0.94 m3/s × (24°C – 12°C)
= 13 650 W
Half sensible cooling: qs half = 1210 × 0.94 m3/s × (24°C – 12°C) × 0.5
= 6825 W

Simply by having the air handler supply tdb = 18°C, we can provide the
cooling necessary. See Figure 8-8 for the psychrometric analysis of this con-
cept. Also note that the sensible 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 this strategy:

• Data centers, IT rooms, and telecom 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 supply air temperature reset.
• VAV systems are very economical to run 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
derived from this system. Granted, you can probably reset the supply air
tdb = 12°C to 13°C or 14°C, but not up to 19°C to 21°C. This is a great
case for energy modeling of the VAV system to see how high in reset tem-
perature you can go at the expense of fan energy usage. Remember, the
higher the supply air temperature, the more refrigeration or cooling energy
you can save.
• Be very careful about how much supply air temperature reset you do in
very humid areas of the world. Remember, the supply air temperature from
the cooling coil sets the required dew point to maintain the room relative

humidity via the sensible heat ratio calculation. Many times in the off-peak
cooling season you could reset the supply air temperature, but the outdoor
humidity conditions force the cooling coil to always be in dehumidification
mode. And be careful of rainy days in the off-peak cooling season, as the
outdoor moisture content may take precedent over supply air temperature
reset. All modern HVAC control 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 HVAC system and, therefore, are
not discussed in this course.

Introduction
This chapter discusses five special cases of psychrometric applications in
the HVAC industry: cooling towers, cleanrooms, indoor swimming pools,
direct evaporative cooling, and indirect evaporative cooling.

Cooling Towers
Starting with cooling 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-bulb temperature.
An example shows what happens to the ambient air and the entering water
as they pass through the cooling tower. Consider a 1055 kW cooling tower that
can cool 0.056 m3/s of water from 35°C to 30°C. The heat being rejected by
the water is

q in kW = 4710 kW/m3/s °C × water flow in m3/s t in °C


= 4710 × 0.056 m3/s × 5°C
= 1319 kW
88 Chapter 9 Special Applications and Psychrometric Considerations

The entering ambient air to the cooling tower is tdb = 40°C and twb = 25°C.
This tower moves 28.45 m3/s of air, which leaves the tower almost at the satu-
ration line on the psychrometric chart. Therefore, the air must pick up 1319
kW, as shown by the total heat required equation discussed in Chapter 4:

qt = 1.2 × airflow × (h1 – h2)

where h1 is the enthalpy at tdb = 40°C and twb = 25°C, or h = 76 kJ/kgda. There-
fore,

1319 kW = 1.2 × 28.45 m3/s × (h1 – h2)


1319 kW = 1.2 × 28.45 m3/s × (76 – h2)
therefore h2 = 114 kJ/kgda
This matches the Figure 9-1 psychrometric chart.

So, the leaving air temperature is tdb = 33°C and twb = 32.8°C, or almost
saturated air. Note that the cooling tower approach is the difference between
the leaving water temperature (28°C) and the 25°C entering wet-bulb ambient
temperature, or 3°C.
See Figure 9-1 for the details of the air condition as it flows through the
cooling tower. Note that part of the process is sensible cooling, but the majority
is latent heat being added to the ambient air as the tower water is cooled.
Also note that the entering ambient air can be anywhere on the twb = 25°C
wet-bulb line and we will get the same results. The only difference is the

place as the air moves through the cooling 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, if this is not
possible, do not allow tdb to be greater than +2°C above the water temperature.
The range for recreational pool water temperature is 24°C to 19°C, with a
recommended  = 50% rh to 60% rh. As an example in this section, we will
design around tdb = 26°C 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
capability to provide auxiliary 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 dehumidifying coil back to the swimming
pool.
The amount of outdoor ventilation air required is 2.4 L/s·m2 of total area,
which comes from ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1 (ASHRAE 2013). Total area
is defined as the pool surface plus the deck area around the pool if it gets wet
during normal operation. If this indoor pool area is connected to or is part of a
larger building, then it should be at a slightly negative pressure to the rest of the
building (–12 Pa of water). This will ensure that the chlorine odor and the high-
moisture-content air do not get into the rest of the building.

Figure 9-3 Indoor pool dehumidification and reheat process.

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 = 26°C and  = 55% rh. Note that
the indoor dew point is tdp = 17°C. The pool dehumidification unit cools and
dehumidifies the air first and then reheats the air to meet the psychrometric
needs. From a load calculation, the room sensible heat ratio (SHR) for this
example is 0.5. So the air is cooled from tdb = 26°C down to tdb = 12°C and
room moisture is removed in the process. Then the air is reheated from tdb =
12°C up to tdb = 19°C 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 full heating load at winter design, both the
refrigeration reheat coil and the auxiliary heat will 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 tdb = 19°C will
cover the cooling design load without any reheat. This then requires a second
refrigerant condenser to reject the heat to the ambient air.

Cleanrooms
The need for cleanrooms has expanded greatly over time. They are used in
manufacturing facilities for microprocessors, pharmaceuticals, medical prod-
ucts, and various electronic devices. The common requirement of these facili-

ties is a clean area using high-efficiency particle arrestor air filtration with
precise dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity control.
A cleanroom HVAC system is divided into two subsystems with different
functions. First is the makeup air system, which provides preconditioned out-
door air to the cleanroom area because a large amount of exhaust air is typi-
cally removed in the manufacturing process. The second subsystem is the
recirculating room air handlers that slightly 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 =
21°C and  = 45% rh, which is means a tdp of 9°C. The design outdoor air is tdb
= 40°C and twb = 25°C. Therefore, the makeup air handler must cool this hot/
humid summer design air to something less than tdb = 9°C, because the recircu-
lation air handlers perform only sensible cooling. Or, said another way, the
makeup air has to remove all the outdoor air latent load plus any room latent
load prior to the air being mixed into the cleanroom.
Because most cleanrooms 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 cleanroom is typically small. For this example, by cooling the air
down to tdb = 8°C, we can handle the cleanroom latent load from our latent
load calculations.
The makeup air handler must also be able to add humidity to the air when
the outdoor air is dry, as well as heat the air to near room condition in the win-
ter. These are typically very large and long air handlers, because they perform
many functions on the outdoor airstream. Note in Figure 9-4 all the compo-
nents necessary to provide preconditioned outdoor air.
Let’s look at the psychrometrics of this make-up air handler at the summer
design conditions. The psychrometric chart for this unit is shown in Figure 9-5.

Figure 9-5 Makeup air handler psychrometrics at summer design conditions.

All three cooling coils and the reheat coil are used to precondition the air
before mixing it with the cleanroom recirculation air. A summary of the four
coils follows:

1. Precool coil takes the 100% outdoor air from tdb = 40°C down to tdb =
34°C with a process cooling loop water supply at 30°C.
2. Chilled-water coil then takes the air from tdb = 34°C down to tdb = 11°C
with the chilled-water loop at 5°C.
3. Glycol (antifreeze) cooling coil then takes the air from tdb = 11°C down to
tdb = 8°C with a water/glycol solution at 2°C.
4. Reheat coil then heats the air from tdb = 8°C up to tdb = 19°C with the
return water from the process cooling loop that is at about 35°C. 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 preconditioned outdoor air is then mixed with the cleanroom return air
that is at tdb = 21°C and  = 45% rh at the inlet of the recirculation air-handling
units. If the relative humidity gets to below 45%, then the glycol coil raises its
supply air temperature a degree or two to bring the cleanroom back up to  =
45% rh.
At any outdoor condition, this makeup air handler has the components to
bring the outdoor air to the desired mixed condition before it is introduced into
the cleanroom.
The cleanroom recirculation units are very simple: they consist of a fan, a
small chilled-water coil, and a set of air prefilters. The actual cleanroom high-

efficiency particle arrestor filters are in the ceiling of the cleanroom and pro-
vide airflow at a high velocity through the room. Because they are sensible-
cooling-only units and have a very small temperature drop, tdb = 21°C to tdb =
19°C, or only 2°C of cooling, there is no temperature deviation in the clean-
room. The psychrometrics of the recirculation cleanroom air handler are shown
in Figure 9-6.
The mixing of the preconditioned makeup air and the return air from the
cleanroom is interesting in that the ratio of the room/makeup air is typically 20/1
to 50/1, depending on the process in the cleanroom. Therefore, the mixed condi-
tion is only reduced a few 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 leaving air temperature slightly if needed.

Direct Evaporative Cooling


Direct evaporative 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-bulb 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 = 38°C and  = 5% rh,
in which the process goes up and to the left on the 15°C wet-bulb line. If the
direct evaporative cooling has a 95% efficiency, then the leaving air tempera-

ture will be tdb = 16°C and  = 90% rh. We can also calculate the condition as
follows:

Evaporative effect = (EATdb – EATwb) × Efficiency


22°C = (38°C – 15°C) × 0.95
LAT = EATdb – Evaporative effect
= 38°C – 22°C
= 16°C
where
EAT = entering air temperature
LAT = leaving air temperature

So, if the room has a high sensible load and a very low latent load, we can
keep the room conditions at tdb = 24°C and  = 60% rh with a fairly flat SHR line.

Indirect Evaporative Cooling


Indirect evaporative cooling is simply cooling the air with a cooling coil and
then using the evaporative process to cool the water that goes through the cool-
ing coil. By definition, then, indirect evaporative cooling is not as efficient as
direct evaporative cooling because two heat transfers take place in the process.
Take the direct evaporative cooling example: we can make 16°C water in this
process and we waste the cool air back to ambient. We take this 16°C water to a

cooling coil and we can make tdb = 20°C air with tdb = 24°C air entering the
coil. Again, if our cooling load is mostly/all sensible and our airflow is high
enough, we can maintain the room at tdb = 24°C and  = 50% rh. See Figure 9-
8 for the psychrometrics of the indirect evaporative cooling process.
However, when used together with 100% outdoor air, the leaving air tem-
perature can be lowered by 5°C. We use the same outdoor conditions of tdb =
38°C and  = 5% rh, but our efficiency is only 45% at best.
We can use the same formula as before so our indirect section can deliver

Evaporative effect = (EATdb – EATwb) × Efficiency


10°C = (38°C – 16°C) × 0.45

LAT = EATdb – Evaporative effect


= 38°C – 10°C
= 28°C

Indirect evaporative cooling can be used in series with direct evaporative


cooling. Air from the indirect section can now enter the direct evaporative sec-
tion at tdb = 28°C and  = 10% rh and move up the wet-bulb line of 11.5°C
with a leaving air condition of tdb = 12°C and  = 90% rh. This is now a much
better leaving air condition, as we can easily maintain room conditions of tdb =
24°C and  = 50% rh.

Evaporative effect = (EATdb – EATwb) × Efficiency


16°C = (28°C – 11.5°C) × 0.95

Figure 9-10 shows the component arrangement for an air handler with both
