Questions and Answers

What is relative humidity a measure of?

  • The temperature of the air in degrees Fahrenheit.
  • The ratio of fresh air to recirculated air in a ventilation system.
  • The amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount that air can hold. (correct)
  • The total heat content of air including both sensible and latent heat.
  • What does dry bulb temperature refer to in air conditioning?

  • The temperature that accounts for the moisture content in the air.
  • The temperature measured by a standard thermometer without the influence of humidity. (correct)
  • The maximum temperature the air can reach before condensation occurs.
  • The average temperature of air returning to HVAC units.
  • Why is enthalpy significant in HVAC systems?

  • It indicates the total weight of moisture in a given volume of air.
  • It determines the speed at which air is circulated in a system.
  • It measures the internal energy changes related to heating and cooling processes. (correct)
  • It represents the absolute temperature of the air inside the building.

    Relative Humidity

    The amount of water vapor present in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a given temperature.

    Enthalpy

    The total heat content of a substance, including both internal energy and the energy associated with pressure and volume.

    Dry Bulb Temperature

    The temperature measured with a standard thermometer, neglecting the effect of humidity.

    Wet Bulb Temperature

    The temperature measured using a thermometer covered in a wet wick, taking into account the cooling effect of evaporation.
