A typical "portable" dehumidifier can be moved about on built-in casters. A dehumidifier is an air conditioning device which reduces and maintains the level of humidity in the air. [1] This is done usually for health or thermal comfort reasons or to eliminate musty odor and to prevent the growth of mildew by extracting water from the air. It ...
During 1941 to 1945, McQuay manufacturing facilities were converted to support the U.S. war effort. McQuay designed and manufactured self-sealing fuel tanks and extended bomb release shackles for the Doolittle Tokyo Raider's B-25s. In the later 1940s and 1950s, McQuay products and sales grew as the demand for commercial air conditioning increased.
Pressure also plays a role. If the pressure is higher than the rated specification then the outlet dew point will be lowered. This lowering of the outlet dew point is due to the longer residence time that the air has inside the membrane. Using the spec above, an operating pressure of 120 psig will yield a lower outlet dew point than specified.
Free cooling systems can have very high efficiencies, and are sometimes combined with seasonal thermal energy storage so that the cold of winter can be used for summer air conditioning. Common storage mediums are deep aquifers or a natural underground rock mass accessed via a cluster of small-diameter, heat-exchanger-equipped boreholes.
This is because the vapor pressure of water increases with temperature—the operative principle behind everything from hair dryers to dehumidifiers. Due to the increasing potential for a higher water vapor partial pressure at higher air temperatures, the water content of air at sea level can get as high as 3% by mass at 30 °C (86 °F ...
The differential pressure trip is connected to the inlet and the outlet of the main filter of the air blower. Failure is indicated by a decrease in the differential pressure. The low-pressure trip connects to the main filter outlet. If the pressure drops below a pre-set level, the trip relay operates.
The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.
The relationship between pressure and leakage air flow rate is defined by the power law between the airflow rate and the pressure difference across the building envelope as follows: [16] q L =C L ∆p n. where: q L is the volumetric leakage airflow rate expressed in m 3 h −1; C L is the air leakage coefficient expressed in m 3 h −1 Pa −n
