Question 1 of 27070

In order to achieve greater dehumidification with an air conditioning system, you should perform which of the following? reduce the cooling coil temperature increase the reheater temperature

🔍 Key Concepts

• Latent heat vs. sensible heat removal in an A/C cooling coil • How cooling coil temperature affects moisture condensation on the coil surface • The role of a reheater in controlling final supply air temperature and relative humidity

💭 Think About

• What happens to the amount of moisture condensed on the cooling coil when the coil surface temperature is lowered, assuming air flow remains the same? • If you reheat air after it has already passed over the cooling coil and had moisture removed, how does that reheating affect the final relative humidity of the air? • Think about which component actually removes water from the air and which component only changes the air’s temperature after dehumidification has already taken place.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which action directly increases condensation of water vapor on the cooling coil surface. • Decide whether increasing reheater temperature can remove additional moisture, or only changes dry-bulb temperature of already dehumidified air. • Mentally sketch the process on a psychrometric chart: cooling and dehumidifying over the coil, then possible reheating—what happens to humidity ratio vs. temperature in each step?
