Disappearing Latent Capacity - Short #95
In this short podcast, Bryan explains why latent capacity is prone to disappearing. He also explains what actually happens when the latent capacity drops.
When you measure enthalpy split across the coil, you'll learn that the equipment design makes it perform to AHRI design conditions. Those design conditions are 95-degree outdoor temperature and 80-degree indoor temperature at 50% indoor relative humidity. So, the A/C system must remove a lot of moisture. However, we don't usually run A/C units for 80-degree indoor temperatures; we usually aim for a 75-degree indoor temperature. When we have…
