How do you cool down a room without drying out the air?
In: Physics
Part of how an air conditioning system works relies on the current air interacting with something cold. When warm air hits something cold it results in condensation, which is moisture that was once in the air. Additionally, the amount of moisture able to be suspended in the air is reliant on the temperature of the air. The warmer the air, the higher the maximum amount of moisture able to be held as “humidity”. In a high humidity climate, cooling the air may also result in a loss of moisture in the air due to the reduced saturation point of the air. I’m not sure if there’s another way to mechanical cool the air, or if it prevents moisture loss, but I’m thinking no.
