How do you properly cool a building? Cooling systems are used to cool and condition the air in rooms and building. To do this, they must remove heat from the air. How much heat needs to be removed to reach the desired temperature? What about humidity – the amount of water vapor in the air? Humidity affects how much heat we feel so it must also be addressed. This interactive online course will address these and other cooling system-related topics and issues.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
State the First Law of Thermodynamics
Understand that Total Cooling must take into account Sensible Heat and Latent Heat
Identify that a thermometer measures sensible heat
Identify that a sling psychrometer measures relative humidity
And define “Enthalpy†and identify the properties of air that influence enthalpy
