Dew-Point Temperature
Relative Humidity

Enthalpy
If any two of the above properties are known, the
Psychrometric Chart can be used to find the remaining
properties

Properties of Air

Dry-bulb temperature is the
temperature read from a
standard thermometer


Wet-bulb
Wet
bulb temperature is read
from a thermometer with the
bulb covered by a wet wick


Representative of the sensible
heat energy at the given
condition

and wet
wet-bulb
bulb represents the
dryness of air

Ai


Dew-point temperature is the
temperature at which
moisture leaves the air and
condenses on objects
When the dry-bulb, wet-bulb,
and dew-point temperatures
are equal, the air is saturated
 Fog occurs when the air is
saturated


Relative humidity is the measure of how much moisture the air
is holding versus how much moisture the air can hold at a
given dry-bulb
dry bulb temperature
 Expressed as a percentage
 As the dry-bulb
dry bulb temperature increases, the amount of
moisture the air can hold increases

Do NOT forget about elevation!
Above 2,000 feet elevation, the air density is reduced by
approximately

A change in air density also changes the physical and

Psychrometric Charts are useful tool for
understanding
g HVAC p
processes
 Easily
find properties of air across numerous
conditions
 Allows us to plot, predict, and calculate the
heating and cooling capacities
 An understanding of psychrometrics is the
foundation of energy recovery
