Psychrometrics Is Difficult When You Only Learn the Chart

You know how a psychrometric chart looks, but still struggle to connect the chart with cooling coil sizing, mixed air, fan heat gain, duct heat gain, AHU selection, and real air conditioning problems.

1

You Can Read Points, But Not the Full Process

You know dry bulb, wet bulb, humidity ratio, and enthalpy, but still feel unsure how to connect them into a complete air conditioning process.

2

Cooling Coil Sizing Feels Unclear

You know the cooling load, but still struggle to determine off-coil temperature, on-coil temperature, coil capacity, sensible heat ratio, and mixed air condition.

3

AHU Selection Reports Are Hard to Interpret

You receive an AHU selection report, but still feel unsure how to compare the selected coil, fan, airflow, static pressure, and actual performance against your design.

4

Troubleshooting Without Psychrometrics Becomes Guesswork

When a system has cooling, humidity, or airflow issues, you know something is wrong but not know how to use air properties to identify the likely cause.

Course Outline

This course is structured around practical psychrometric analysis for AHU cooling coil sizing, AHU selection review, and troubleshooting. You will start with chart and calculator setup, then move into cooling coil sizing, design versus selection, and advanced application.

To start, you’ll learn what is the coil load calculator and understand how to read the psychrometric chart. Then, you’ll be given to download an excel calculator that will support your progress in this course and future applications.

Lessons:

  • Calculator & Chart Explanation
  • Coil Load Calculator

Part 1 is where you’ll learn how to determine the on/off coil temperature of a cooling coil in order to calculate the coil capacity based on a given cooling load requirement. You’ll also learn how to calculate the heat gain from fan motor and supply/return duct.

Lessons:

  • 1.1 Sensible Heat Ratio
  • 1.2 Indoor Design Conditions
  • 1.3 Off Coil Temperature
  • 1.4 Fan Motor Heat Gain
  • 1.5 Supply Duct Heat Gain
  • 1.6 Return Path Heat Gain
  • 1.7 Mixed Air Temperature
  • 1.8 On Coil Temperature

In Part 2, you’ll be presented an AHU selection report and the important parameters within the AHU will be explained. Then, you’ll learn how the actual selection differ from the design, how to interpret it and what to do about it.

Lessons:

  • 2.1 AHU Selection Report
  • 2.2 Supply Fan Selection
  • 2.3 Static Pressure & Duct Losses

Part 3 is about application. You’ll go through an air conditioning problem with several scenarios to demonstrate how to use psychrometric analysis in troubleshooting. You’ll also learn what factors will affect cooling coil sizing.

Lessons:

  • 3.1 Cooling Problems
  • 3.2 High Outdoor Airflow

The final section of this course includes a thank you message and takeaways from the instructor, and a course assessment quiz to test your knowledge.

Lessons:

  • Course Completion
  • Course Assessment Quiz
  • Certificate of Completion

Recommendation: If you only want to learn psychrometric analysis, buy this course. If you want to build a broader HVAC design foundation, Pro Membership is the better learning path because psychrometrics connects closely with cooling load calculation, duct design, chilled water system design, AHU selection, and troubleshooting.

How Psychrometric Analysis Fits Into HVAC Design

Psychrometrics connects air temperature, humidity, cooling load, coil capacity, outdoor air, fan heat, duct heat gain, and AHU selection.

Without psychrometric analysis, it is difficult to properly understand:

  • Why a cooling coil is sized a certain way?
  • How supply air condition is determined?
  • How outdoor air affects coil load?
  • How fan heat affects supply air?
  • Why AHU selection differs from design calculation?
  • Why some rooms feel cold but humid?
  • Why an air conditioning system may struggle under certain conditions?

This course helps you understand the air-side behavior behind HVAC design and troubleshooting.
