4 Discuss the difference in results obtained in cooling and dehumidifying jj, `
an air washer from those obtained in a surface cooling coil.
!
Air leaves a dehumidifying air washer in a saturated condition at a dew point tempera. >
ture which can be easily maintained at a constant level by controlling the spray water
temperature. This saturated air may then be reheated to proper delivery temperature i
by reheating coils or by mixing with by-passed air.
.'1 ,
For a set air velocity and a set mean refrigerant temperature, a given cooling coil is capable of absorbing a definite amount of heat. Whether the air leaving the coil is saturated or not depends then on the entering dry- and wet-bulb temperatures. From
practical operating standpoint, the easiest way to control the output of the cooling coii is by means of the dry-bulb temperature of the conditioned space. This means then that the final dew point will vary somewhat depending on entering air conditions.

Summarizing then, the air washers permit close control over both final dry-bulb and
final dew point temperatures, while the surface coolers permit close control over the
final dry-bulb only.
