[TRNSYS-users] Relative humidity of Kitchen is illogical (with attached files)

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users]

Ismail,

   Type56 assumes that zones have neutral pressure. If you add air to a 
zone, it is assumed that the same mass of air leaves the zone by some 
means. The same would be true if you were to actively extract air from 
the zone; more air would come in to replace the air that you extracted. 
The issue, I think, is where the air that comes into the zone comes 
from. If it comes from a humid source then the zone humidity is going to 
go up. If the air comes from a dry source then the zone humidity will go 
down. One of the challenges with natural ventilation is that if the 
building is cooler than the ambient when natural ventilation is 
activated then humid air comes into a cool space from outside and the RH 
in the space goes way up (cool air can hold less moisture than warm air).

kind regards,

  David
