DewPoint Air contains water vapour of varying quantities. Dew point indicates the amount of moisture in the air The higher the dew point, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given temperature The dew point is the temperature to which a given parcel of air must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapour to condense into water

AirConditioningSystem AirConditioningTerms
AbsoluteHumidity Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air Humidity may be expressed as absolute humidity and relative humidity Absolute humidity is the quantity of water in particular quantity of air It is expressed in the units of [g/kg] Air at a given temperature can accommodate only a certain amount of water vapour (moisture) This is referred to as saturation humidity

AirConditioningSystem AirConditioningTerms
RelativeHumidity It is the amount of moisture in the air compared to what the air can "hold" at that temperature. When the air can't "hold" all the moisture, then it condenses as dew AVD RH = 100% SVD RH: relative density AVD: actual vapour density SVD: saturation vapour density

AirConditioningSystem AirConditioningTerms
Example RelativeHumidity If the actual vapour density (AVD) is 10 [g/m3] at 20C compared to the saturation vapour density (SVD) at that temperature of 17.3 [g/m3], then the relative humidity (RH) will be;

DryBulbTemperatureTdb A temperature that refers to ambient temperature It is called so because this temp. is measured with a standard thermometer whose temp. sensor (bulb) is not wet If the bulb were wet, then some of the moisture content of the air would evaporate at the bulb and this will affect the temperature reading of the thermometer

AirConditioningSystem AirConditioningTerms
WetBulbTemperatureTwb This is the temperature indicated by a moistened thermometer bulb exposed to the air flow This can be measured by using a thermometer with the bulb wrapped in wet muslin Evaporation of water from the thermometer and the cooling effect is indicated by a "wet bulb temperature" lower than the "dry bulb temperature" in the air

WhatisAir? "Air" is the name we give to the mixture of gases which make up the Earth's atmosphere. The composition, physical, and chemical properties of air are very similar everywhere. Standard dry air: which is mainly composed of three gases: nitrogen (about 78%), oxygen (about 21%), and argon (about 1%). Together, these three gases make up 99.96% of dry air.

Water vapour (humidity): The amount of water vapour in air at ground level can vary quite a bit from almost zero to about 5 percent. Many factors influence the amount of humidity in the air at a given location and time.
