Analysis of Air Conditioning Processes
The Five HVAC Processes
• Heating
– With and without humidification
• Adiabatic humidification
• Cooling
– With and without dehumidification
• Adiabatic mixing of moist air streams
• Evaporative cooling

The location of state 2 (2a,
2b, or 2c) depends on the
state of the water being
injected for humidification

This process is not very
common in HVAC systems.
Often, the surface of the
heat exchanger is below
the dew point which causes
water to condense

This is the adiabatic
humidification
process when the
water used for
humidification is
colder than T1
This system works very well in hot,
dry climates. Notice that there can
be a significant increase in the
humidity levels (both relative
humidity and humidity ratio).

Combined Cooling and Heating
Processes
Example
11
Given: In a combined cooling/heating system, moist air enters the
cooling section at 90°F, = 50% at a volumetric flow rate of 5000 cfm.
Saturated, moist air and liquid condensate leave the cooling section at a
temperature that is 15 degrees below the dew point of the entering moist
air. After leaving the cooling section, the saturated, moist air enters the
heating section. After passing through the heater, the moist air leaves
the heating section at 68°F. The pressure throughout the system can be
assumed to be constant at normal sea-level pressure (29.921 inHg –
consistent with the psychrometric chart).
Find:
(a) The volumetric flow rate of the condensate (gpm)
(b) The required refrigeration capacity of the cooling section (tons)
(c) The relative humidity of the air leaving the heating section
(d) The heat transfer rate required in the heating section (Btu/hr)
Example

A sketch of the system and a psychrometric chart showing
the processes is shown below.
