2.2.1. Sensible Cooling/Heating

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is sensible cooling?

   Hint

   Think of temperature changes without humidity changes.

2. 2.

   Name a property measured in psychrometry.

   Hint

   It's measured by a standard thermometer.

3. 3.

   What is the focus of sensible cooling?

   • Changing moisture content
   • Changing air temperature
   • Both temperature and moisture

   Hint

   Remember the process of cooling and moisture.

4. 4.

   True or False: Wet bulb temperature indicates how dry or humid the air feels.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about humidity's effect on temperature perception.

5. 5.

   A restaurant needs to maintain a temperature of 22°C in its kitchen, which is currently at 30°C, with a calculated sensible load of 5000 BTU/hr. How can the team achieve this efficiently?

   Hint

   Consider system capacity and size.

6. 6.

   Analyze a scenario where the HVAC system must adjust from cooling to heating. How should the transfer of energy be approached without altering humidity?

   Hint

   Remember to assess moisture levels during temperature changes.
