What is this? Interactive psychrometric chart for analyzing moist air properties at any elevation. Plot entering and leaving conditions, view all seven psychrometric properties, and calculate sensible, latent, and total process loads.
How to use Set your site elevation, then hover over the chart to read air properties in real time. If you want to calculate sensible, latent, and total process loads between two points, enter CFM and click to pin entering and leaving state points. Alternatively, click any two property tiles to enter values directly — any two independent properties define the state, and the two most recently entered are used.

What is a psychrometric chart?

A psychrometric chart is a graphical representation of the thermodynamic properties of moist air at a constant pressure. It plots the relationships between dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, dew point temperature, relative humidity, humidity ratio, enthalpy, and specific volume. HVAC engineers use psychrometric charts to analyze air conditioning processes such as heating, cooling, humidification, dehumidification, and mixing of airstreams. Each point on the chart represents a unique air state defined by any two independent properties. The chart is essential for understanding how air treatment processes move air from one state to another and for verifying that system designs will achieve the desired indoor conditions.
