Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.1.1 What is this module of Efficient HVAC Systems

Course subject(s) Module 2: Humid air: (de)humidification and air handling units

Welcome back!

In previous courses, you have learned a lot about heating and cooling. However, we neglected the control of humidity in air, which is very important for the indoor environmental quality and for the conservation of materials and art (like in museums) as you can learn in the course: Health and Comfort. During module 2 you will learn about the properties of humid air, which processes can be used to heat, cool, humidify and dehumidify air and how to make estimates of the energy needed for these processes using equations and psychrometric charts. This is the basis for the other modules of the course, in which you will apply the knowledge.

Enjoy!
