Spray-type humidifiers may use heating or cooling equipment to achieve the
desired air condition. The
heat supplied to or gained from the system is:
When the heat is supplied to the system, the ADP (Apparatus Dew-Point Temperature)
will be higher
than the adiabatic process. The process line depends on
the contact factor of humidification. In some
cases the increase in moisture content is accompanied by
sensible cooling and in some others by
sensible heating.
When the heat is gained from the system, the ADP (Apparatus Dew-Point Temperature) will be lower
than the adiabatic process. The process line depends on the contact factor of humidification. In some
cases the sensible cooling is accompanied by humidification and in some others by dehumidification.
