Author(s) : FSEC, SHIREY D. B. III, HENDERSONG H. I. Jr, RAUSTAD R. A.

Type of monograph: Report

Summary

This report summarizes the results of a comprehensive project to better understand and quantify the moisture removal (dehumidification) performance of cooling coils at part-load conditions. Extract from the table of contents: literature review; laboratory and field testing; model development and validation (better predictions of off-cycle moisture evaporation; an improved latent degradation model; recommended model parameters for various cooling systems: part-load latent performance for modulating and staged direct-expansion systems; latent degradation with modulating chilled water coils); best practices to mitigate latent capacity degradation (the importance of coil temperature control; the impact of off-cycle moisture evaporation from the cooling coil); conclusions and recommendations. The report can be downloaded from the following Web site: www.fsec.ucf.edu/bldg/pubs/dp_air/DehumidificationPerformance.pdf
