Psychrometric Processes
Heating, cooling, humidifying, dehumidifying air-water vapor mixtures
Five basic processes to knowHeat or Cool (horizontal line)Humidify or De-humidify (vertical line)Evaporative cooling (constant wet-
bulb line)

Latent and Sensible Heat Production
Example from ASAE Standard EP270.5:

Cattle Bldg. T MP SHL THL500 kg 21C 1.3 gH2O/kg-h 1.1 W/kg 2.0 W/kg
Sensible Energy Balance
Leads to Ventilation for Temperature Control:
qs + qso + qm + qh = ΣUA(ti-to) + FP(ti-to) + cpρV (ti-to)
Heat inputs = envelope + floor + ventilation
qs – sensible heat qso – solar heat gainqm – mechanical heat sources qh – supplemental heat
U – building heat transfer coeff.P – floor perimeterF – perimeter heat loss factor cp – specific heat of airV – ventilation rateρ – density of air
Sensible Energy Balance
Leads to Ventilation for Temperature Control. Rearranging:
V = [ qs - ( Σ UA+ FP)(ti-to)] / 0.24 ρ (ti-to)60
V – cfm (equation for English units)

Find the minimum winter ventilation rate to maintain60% relative humidity inside a swine nursery that hasa capacity of 800 pigs weighing 10 pounds. Insidetemperature is 85 degrees.
• Find moisture production data• ASABE Standards (EP270.5)• Wr = 0.017 lb/hr/pig
• Get psychrometric data from chart• W0 = 0.0005• Wi = 0.0154• V = 14.1
• Plug into equation & solve• Q = (14.1/60) x [(.017 x 800) / (.0154 - .0005)]• Q = 214 cfm
Find the ventilation rate required to prevent theammonia concentration inside a poultry layer barnfrom rising above 20 ppm. Ammonia production in the barn is estimated to be 21.6 cubic feet per hour. Ammonia concentration in theambient air is 2 ppm.
NH3 Balance
NH3 Solution
• Use volumetric form of mass balance equation• Vp + Vi = Vo
• Vp + Qv[NH3]i = Qv[NH3]o
• Solve for Qv
• Qv = Vp / { [NH3]o - [NH3]i }• Get quantities in consistent units
• Vp = (21.6 ft3/hr / 60 min/hr) = 0.36 ft3/min• Plug into equation & solve• Q = 0.36 / (.000020 - .000002)]• Q = 0.36 / .000018• Q = 20,000 cfm
What is the ventilation rate for a swine finishing barn that will limit the design temperature rise inside the house to 4 degrees (F) above the ambient temperature? The barn capacity is 1000 pigs at 220 pounds and the inside temperature is approximately 85 F. The overall heat transfer coefficient for the barn is 1200 Btu/hr F.

What is the ventilation rate for a swine finishing barn that will limit the design temperature rise inside the house to 4 degrees (F) above the ambient temperature? The barn capacity is 1000 pigs at 220 pounds and the inside temperature is approximately 85 F. The overall heat transfer coefficient is 1200 Btu/hr F.
• Find heat production data• ASABE Standards (EP270.5)• q = 0.49 W/kg (sensible heat)
• Convert units & calculate total heat load• q = 0.49 W/kg x 100 kg/pig x 1000 pigs• = 49,000 W x 3.412 Btu/hr W• = 167,188 Btu/hr
• Density of Air = 0.075 lb/ft3
• Specific heat of air = 0.24 Btu/lb F• ti – to = 4 F
Continuation . . . ventilation rate for a swine finishing barn that will limit the design temperature rise inside the house to 4 degrees (F) above the ambient temperature
• Basic equation
• Neglect floor heat loss or gain
• Plug into equation & solve• V = [167,188 - (1200 x 4)] / [(0.24 x 0.075) x 4 x
60]• V = 37,590 cfm
V = [ qs - ( Σ UA+ FP)(ti-to)] / 0.24 ρ (ti-to)60
