A detailed explanation of the psychrometric chart and the properties of air – Part II

The chart shows other important moist air properties as diagrammed in Figure 2: wet-bulb temperature; enthalpy; dewpoint or saturation temperature; relative humidity; and specific volume. See the Definitions section for an explanation of these terms. Moist air can be described by finding the intersection of any two of these properties. This is called a "state point." From the state point all the other properties can be read. The key is to determine which interest. Some practice with examples will help....

Psychrometric Chart and Air Characteristics

A psychrometric chart presents physical and thermal properties of moist air in a graphical form. It can be very helpful in troubleshooting and finding solutions to greenhouse or livestock building environmental problems. Understanding psychrometric charts can help you visualize environmental control concepts, such as why heated air can hold more moisture or, conversely, how allowing moist air to cool will result in condensation. This article explains how characteristics of moist air are used in a psychrometric chart. Three examples are...

Managing Fouling in Fin Tube Coil Exchangers

Fin tube coil exchangers are widely utilized in various industrial applications due to their efficiency and compact design. Despite their advantages, these systems are not immune to performance issues related to fouling. Fouling is a common problem that can significantly impact the efficiency and operational lifespan of heat exchangers. What is Fouling? Fouling refers to the accumulation of unwanted materials on the surfaces of the heat exchanger, particularly on the finned tubes. This accumulation can consist of scale, dirt, algae, or other...
