← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when humid air is cooled below its dew point on HVAC condenser coils?
A)Latent heat release from condensation✓
B)Sensible heat increase from supercooling
C)Reduced airflow from increased volume
D)Higher pressure drop through the coil
💡 Explanation
When humid air is cooled to the dew point, water vapor undergoes condensation because the air is saturated, releasing latent heat which warms the coil slightly. Therefore latent heat release results, rather than supercooling, increased air volume, or increased pressure drop absent significant blockage.
