Apparatus Dew Point

An ADP is essential to any cooling/

dehumidifying process. The chart below

shows an impossible process because

there is no ADP

Coil Entering Air

Dry Bulb Temperature

Coil Leaving Air

Bypass Factor

Some of the air flowing through the coil

impinges on the water tubes or the fins and is

cooled to the ADP. Other air passes through

unchanged.

The percentage of air that passes through the

coil unchanged is called the bypass factor.
