Psychrometry ✔Correct Answer-Study of the relationship between air, humidity, and temperature
and their effects on materials and comfort levels
Evaporation ✔Correct Answer-Process of changing a liquid to a vapor
Dehumidification ✔Correct Answer-Reducing moisture content in the air
Dry Bulb Temperature ✔Correct Answer-Temperature degree registered by a thermometer
Dew Point ✔Correct Answer-The point at which humidity in the air reaches saturation or 100
Percent RH
Saturation Point ✔Correct Answer-Point at which air or materials can absorb no more moisture,
drying stops, and air temperature reached dew point
Condensation ✔Correct Answer-Conversion of water from vapor state back to liquid state
Relative Humidity (RH) ✔Correct Answer-The amount of moisture in a given volume of air,
expressed as a percentage, at a given temperature
Infiltration ✔Correct Answer-Migration of air into an area from an outside area due to high VP
differential
Balanced Drying ✔Correct Answer-Ideal drying situation in which the rate of evaporation is equal
to or slightly less than the rate of dehumidification or ventilation
GPP ✔Correct Answer-Unit used to measure humidity ratio
7000 Grains of water vapor ✔Correct Answer-Equals 1 pound of water
14 cubic feet of dry air ✔Correct Answer-Equals 1 pound
Humidity Ratio ✔Correct Answer-The weight of suspended moisture in air expressed in GPP
Hygroscopic ✔Correct Answer-Material that readily absorbs and retains moisture or water vapor
from air in an attempt to reach equilibrium
Moisture Content (MC) ✔Correct Answer-Weight or percentage of moisture in materials, as
compared to the weight of oven dried , like material
Permeance ✔Correct Answer-A measure of water flow through materials of specific thickness
Moisture Gradient ✔Correct Answer-Different levels of moisture content within a wood material
Vapor Pressure ✔Correct Answer-Pressure on surfaces exerted by substances in a gaseous state
directly related to dehumidification
, Vapor Barrier ✔Correct Answer-Permeance Factor of 1 or less
Grain Depression ✔Correct Answer-Reduction of humidity ratio as noted in difference from
ambient air to output on dehumidifier
HAT ✔Correct Answer-Humidity, Airflow, Temperature Control
Directly Related ✔Correct Answer-Vapor Pressure (VP), Humidity Ratio, and Dew Point
Inversely Related ✔Correct Answer-Temperature and RH
Open Drying ✔Correct Answer-Intentionally exchanging inddor with outdoor air without using
dehu's
Closed Drying ✔Correct Answer-Use of mechanical dehu's
Heat Drying Systems ✔Correct Answer-Directed Heat and Ambient Heat Applications increase the
rate of evaporation by increasing the surface temperature of wet materials
40 Percent ✔Correct Answer-RH to attempt to achieve after initial 24 hours of drying
60 Percent ✔Correct Answer-RH hygroscopic materials start to readily take on humidity and
growth begins
14 ✔Correct Answer-Cubic feet in a pound of dry air
7000 ✔Correct Answer-Grains in a pound of dry air
55 ✔Correct Answer-GPP where conventional dehu's start to lose efficiency
34 ✔Correct Answer-GPP where LGR dehu's start to lose efficiency
70-90 Degrees ✔Correct Answer-Temp at which refrigerant dehu's have best performance
30 percent ✔Correct Answer-RH where LGR dehu's start to lose efficiency
12,000 ✔Correct Answer-Btu removal action per ton of air conditioning per hour
10-16 feet ✔Correct Answer-distance recommended per foot with most airmovers for potentially
effective evaporation
50-60 feet ✔Correct Answer-Alternative per square foot recommendation for airmover placement
7.48 ✔Correct Answer-Gallons per cubic foot of water depth
