6.1.4. Dehumidification

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is dehumidification?

   Hint

   Think about how humidity affects comfort.

2. 2.

   What does dew point temperature indicate?

   Hint

   Recall the concept of saturation.

3. 3.

   What happens to air when it's cooled below its dew point?

   • It becomes warmer
   • It can hold more moisture
   • Moisture condenses and is removed

   Hint

   Think about condensation on a cold glass.

4. 4.

   Is relative humidity the measure of how much moisture is in the air compared to the maximum it can hold?

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider the concept of saturation.

5. 5.

   A room has a relative humidity of 80%. If the temperature is 30°C, calculate the dew point temperature and explain how a dehumidification system can utilize this information.

   Hint

   Refer to psychrometric properties equations.

6. 6.

   Design a dehumidification solution for a community center that often deals with humidity issues. What considerations should be taken into account?

   Hint

   Think about what contributes to humidity in large gatherings.
