2.1.1. DBT: Dry Bulb Temperature

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does DBT stand for?

   Hint

   It's related to the temperature you measure with a thermometer.

2. 2.

   What temperature is generally higher, DBT or WBT?

   Hint

4. 4.

   True or False: DBT is influenced by humidity levels.

   • True

   Hint

   DBT is a direct measurement, while humidity is a ratio.

5. 5.

   Given a room with a DBT of 30°C and a RH of 60%, explain the potential comfort implications and what air-conditioning actions could be implemented.

   Hint

   Consider both temperature and humidity in your assessment.

6. 6.

   Analyze a situation where an industrial process requires a DBT of 18°C and is currently at 25°C. What steps would you take to ensure the correct DBT is maintained?

   Hint

   Think about cooling strategies and moisture management.
