The location of state 2 (2a, 2b, or 2c) depends on the state of the water being injected for humidification

This process is not very common in HVAC systems. Often, the surface of the heat exchanger is below the dew point which causes water to condense

This is the adiabatic humidification process when the water used for humidification is colder than T1
This system works very well in hot, dry climates. Notice that there can be a significant increase in the humidity levels (both relative humidity and humidity ratio).

Example
Combined Cooling and Heating Processes
Example
11
Given: In a combined cooling/heating system, moist air enters the cooling section at 90°F, = 50% at a volumetric flow rate of 5000 cfm. Saturated, moist air and liquid condensate leave the cooling section at a temperature that is 15 degrees below the dew point of the entering moist air. After leaving the cooling section, the saturated, moist air enters the heating section. After passing through the heater, the moist air leaves the heating section at 68°F. The pressure throughout the system can be assumed to be constant at normal sea-level pressure (29.921 inHg – consistent with the psychrometric chart).
Find:(a) The volumetric flow rate of the condensate (gpm)(b) The required refrigeration capacity of the cooling section (tons)(c) The relative humidity of the air leaving the heating section(d) The heat transfer rate required in the heating section (Btu/hr)
Example
