English: This psychrometric chart represents the acceptable combination of air temperature and humidity values, according to the PMV/PPD method in the ASHRAE 55-2010 Standard. The comfort zone in blue represents the 90% of acceptability, which means the conditions between -0.5 and +0.5 PMV, or PPD < 10%.
The graphic method utilizes an overlay on a psychrometric chart to indicate the operative temperatures and humidity at which thermal comfort is achieved in the winter (1.0 clo) and summer (0.5 clo). It is based on the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) model. [ 4 ]
A psychrometric chart is a graph of the thermodynamic parameters of moist air at a constant pressure, often equated to an elevation relative to sea level. The ASHRAE-style psychrometric chart, shown here, was pioneered by Willis Carrier in 1904. [10] It depicts these parameters and is thus a graphical equation of state. The parameters are:
The results are displayed on a psychrometric or a temperature-relative humidity chart and indicate the ranges of temperature and relative humidity that will be comfortable with the given the values input for the remaining four parameters. [44] The PMV/PPD model has a low prediction accuracy. [45]
English: This chart represents the acceptable combination of air temperature and humidity values, according to the PMV/PPD method in the ASHRAE 55-2010 Standard. The representation is made on a temperature-relative humidity, instead of a standard psychrometric chart.
The humidity of an air and water vapor mixture is determined through the use of psychrometric charts if both the dry bulb temperature (T) and the wet bulb temperature (T w) of the mixture are known. These quantities are readily estimated by using a sling psychrometer.
The dry-bulb temperature (DBT) is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely exposed to the air, but shielded from radiation. [1] The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature that is usually thought of as air temperature, and it is the true thermodynamic temperature.
