Psychrometric charts

Psychrometric charts

Within this section there are, for educational use only, the psychrometric diagrams of humid air. Starting from two known (and absolute) conditions of humid air, it is possible to derive all the other values.

Psychrometric charts are fundamental tools in air conditioning, heating, ventilation and refrigeration engineering. These diagrams provide a visual representation of the properties of moist air in relation to temperature, relative humidity and other key variables. They are widely used in the analysis and design of environmental comfort systems, in the optimization of industrial processes and in plant engineering.

This selection was created by Itieffe to offer a complete overview of the documents relating to "Psychrometric Diagrams". The diagrams listed here are a valid guide to assist engineers, technicians, designers, students and professionals in the HVAC-R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) sector in the effective use of psychrometric diagrams to address specific and complex challenges.

The effective use of psychrometric diagrams is essential to ensure environmental comfort, air quality and energy efficiency in buildings and industrial processes. We trust that these papers will become a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their knowledge and expertise in this specialized field, thereby contributing to the improvement of engineering practices within HVAC-R and related processes.Start of form

Psychrometry (from the Greek: ψυχρόν, cold and μέτρον, measurement) means the study inherent in the determination of the properties of a gas-vapor system.

Concepts used in psychrometry.

Here is a list of some useful quantities in the field of psychrometry:
absolute humidity, relative humidity, specific humidity, vapor content, specific molar wet heat, dew point (in English: dew point), adiabatic saturation temperature (in English: adiabatic saturation temperature), wet bulb temperature (in English: wet bulb temperature). Source Wikipedia.

The principles of psychrometry are applied to any thermodynamic system that contains a gas-steam mixture, and in particular in the HVAC (heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning) and meteorological fields.
