🔍 Key Concepts

• Dew point: the temperature at which air becomes saturated and water vapor starts to condense. • Relationship between freezing point (32°F) and whether water appears as liquid droplets or ice. • How an evaporator coil in a refrigeration/AC system causes moisture to condense from the air.

💭 Think About

• If water is forming as liquid droplets and dripping, what does that tell you about whether the coil surface is above or below 32°F? • For condensation to occur, how must the coil temperature compare to the dew point of the surrounding air? • Think about what would happen (ice vs. dripping water) if the coil were much colder than freezing compared to just slightly colder than the dew point.

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm whether liquid water dripping (not ice) can exist on a surface below 32°F in normal conditions. • Confirm that condensation starts when a surface is cooled below the dew point of the surrounding air. • Check each answer for consistency with both: (1) liquid water dripping, and (2) the basic definition of dew point.
