4.4 Thermal Load and Cooling Capacities
4.4.3 Underfloor ventilation air conditioning
Figure 4.9 shows the air condition for underfloor ventilation in a psychrometric chart.
Table 4.7 summarizes procedures for calculating the cooling capacities of an

The values in the table involve certain characteristic curve and psychrometric chart
read errors.
