[TRNSYS-users] Question about dehumidification

[David BRADLEY]

Laldje,
   You can set a dehumidification (and humidification) set point in 
TRNBuild and Type56 will calculate the latent energy removal/addition 
required to meet that setpoint. I'm afraid I do not know whether the 
treatment is adiabatic or not. In my experience you have to be a little 
careful with this because the dehumidification/humidification can occur 
without either sensible heating or cooling occurring. However, more 
often in an actual building, what we really care about is a temperature 
set point and some latent cooling occurs as a result of cooling down the 
air that is used to provide the sensible cooling. If this is your case 
then there is a component in the TESS Loads and Structures library that 
gives an empirical estimate of the latent cooling that occurs as a 
consequence of providing sensible cooling. We use that model in order to 
estimate a total cooling load for building spaces.
kind regards,
  David
