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

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:
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:
2-1 Dry-bulb temperature is measured with a wet sock around the sensing bulb.
a) True
b) False
2-2 Saturation temperature of air is the point at which the dry-bulb, wet-bulb, and
dew-point temperatures are equal.
a) True
b) False
2-3 Relative humidity does not change as the dry-bulb temperature changes.
a) True
b) False
2-4 The dry-bulb temperature can be above the dew-point temperature.
a) True
b) False
2-5 According to Appendix A, what is the specific enthalpy hs of saturated air at
5°C?
a) 15.231863
b) 18.63
c) 5.02
d) None of the above
2-6 According to Appendix A, under the same condition cited in Exercise 2-5,
what is the specific volume v?
a) 0.811
b) 0.794
c) 0.006
d) None of the above
2-7 According to Appendix A, what is the specific enthalpy of dry air hda at 50°C?
a) 52.33
b) 225.03
c) 50.31
d) None of the above

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.
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
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.

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:
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
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.

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:

Almost the same answer, but done in one less step by using the combina-
tion equation. Because we are “eyeballing” the values on our psychrometric

by a few percent. See Figure 4-6 for the breakdown of the sensible and latent

Our inlet conditions to the evaporative cooler are 38°C db and =10% rh,

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
So, how much water do we use in the evaporative process? We can use a

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:
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

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:
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
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.

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%

We could also have picked a leaving air temperature of tdb = 15°C and =
76% rh, resulting in an volume of
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.

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

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

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:
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
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.

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.

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.

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.

Dry-Bulb Temperature
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.

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.
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.

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 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

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-
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.
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.

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

Dry-Bulb Temperature
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-
Fundamentals of Psychrometrics (SI), Second Edition 91
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.

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.

follows:
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.

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

So, as you can see, the combination of both indirect and direct evaporative
cooling in series can deliver air that can provide for a comfortable room with-
out mechanical refrigeration.
See Figure 9-9 for a plot of indirect and direct evaporative cooling in series.
Figure 9-10 shows the component arrangement for an air handler with both
indirect and direct evaporative cooling. The waste air is the air that provides
cooling to the one side of the indirect heat exchanger.
