Mastering Humidity Control with Psychrometrics

In this special episode of HVAC-TV, host Tony Mormino and special guests Mike Singer and Kevin Quillinan explore the critical factors involved in solving humidity challenges in building environments. From construction type and infiltration to occupant activity, they highlight the importance of a whole-building approach to achieving optimal indoor air quality. The episode dives into the nuances of controlling temperature versus humidity and explains the role of sensible heat ratios (SHR) and psychrometric charts in system design. The discussion also covers effective strategies for managing part-load conditions and implementing solutions like reheat systems, modulating compressors, and advanced HVAC technologies. Whether you’re designing systems for commercial buildings or troubleshooting existing spaces, this episode provides valuable insights for HVAC professionals.
