Psychrometric Processes

Psychrometric processes describe how air's properties—temperature, humidity, and moisture content—change during different conditions such as heating, cooling, humidifying, or dehumidifying. These processes are important for controlling indoor air quality and comfort. By understanding how air interacts with moisture and heat, engineers can design HVAC systems to maintain ideal conditions for health and comfort. For example, cooling air can also remove humidity, while adding moisture can increase humidity levels. These processes are visualized using a psychrometric chart, which helps in planning and analyzing air conditioning systems effectively.
