Author(s) : MORRIS W.

Type of article: Article

Summary

This article explores the benefits of "splitting" the cooling load, that is, using a dedicated outdoor-air unit to treat high latent-cooling load of outdoor air and zone-mounted terminal units to treat high sensible-cooling load of indoor air. Treating outdoor air separately makes it easy to verify sufficient ventilation airflow and enforces the maximum limit for relative humidity in occupied zones.
