Dehumidification at Part Load
Engineers and equipment manufacturers need a better understanding of dehumidification 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 studies1,2 show that the moisture removal capacity of a cooling coil degrades at part-load conditions especially when the supply air fan operates continuously.Citation: ASHRAE Journal, Vol. 46, No. 4, April 2004
