📘 Calculation Methodology & ASHRAE Standards

Apparatus Dew Point & Bypass Factor

The portion of air that passes untouched through fin spaces is represented by the Bypass Factor $BF$. The condition curve connects state 1 directly toward $ADP$:

                    Tdb2 = ADP + BF · (Tdb1 − ADP)
                

Sensible Heat Ratio & Dehumidification

When the coil surface temperature $ADP < T_{dew1}$, simultaneous cooling and moisture condensation occur. Deeper 6–8 row coils achieve $BF \le 0.08$ for deep moisture removal.

Key Engineering Assumptions

Standard atmospheric pressure $P = 101.325\,\text{kPa}$.
Ideal gas mixture thermodynamics for dry air and water vapor.
Chilled water specific heat $c_p = 4.186\,\text{kJ/(kg·K)}$.
