HTRI wet air calculation
Thread Content
In HTRI version 9.1, when using the economizer calculation for air coolers and the air is wet air (with water condensation), the CMDT value becomes distorted. Does anyone know why this happens?
When using the HTRI software to calculate moist air with a high water content, the CMDT value (minimum logarithmic mean temperature difference) may be distorted due to limitations in the processing of material property data and the calculation methods employed. The condensation and phase change of moist air cause drastic changes in thermal properties, and conventional logarithmic mean temperature difference calculation methods may no longer be applicable. It is recommended to check the software settings, such as whether the parameters for air humidity and temperature are set correctly, or to try using an updated version of the software; you may also consider consulting HTRI’s technical support. .
So it’s a problem with the software itself, right? So is there no way to solve this situation?
