Abstract

Engineers and equipment manufacturers need a better understanding of de-humidification performance at part-load conditions to evaluate the impacts of their design choices on indoor humidity levels, occupant comfort, and indoor air quality. Data from previous field test studies 1, 2 show that the moisture removal capacity of a cooling coil degrades at part-load conditions - especially when the supply air fan operates continuously.
