CONSIDERING AND AVOIDING LIGHT DENSITY COIL-FROST.

Author(s) : SMITH G. R.

Summary

THE AUTHOR CONSIDERS THE CASE OF A LOW TEMPERATURE ROOM AIR-COOLING COIL SITUATED WHERE PERIODS OF INFILTRATING MOIST AIR WILL PREVAIL. IT IS FOUND IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT A LIGHT DENSITY FROST IS FORMED WHICH, BECAUSE OF ITS LOW THERMAL TRANSMITTANCE, CAUSES POOR COIL PERFORMANCE WITH LOWER THAN INTENDED COIL SURFACE TEMPERATURE. A PSYCHROMETRIC ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT A COIL PERFORMANCE LINE FOR THESE CONDITIONS RISES ABOVE THE SATURATION CURVE ON A PSYCHROMETRIC CHART. THE AUTHOR USES SUCH AN ANALYSIS TO SUGGEST A METHOD FOR SELECTING A COIL SUCH THAT THE LIGHT DENSITY FROST FORMATION WILL NOT OCCUR. D.W.H.
