    Great podcast. I can think of another situation where latent load is increased by thicker coils as in High Velocity systems. Air being in contact with the evaporator longer and dropping RH.
    I live in Vermont where we have high latent loads at times in the summer. I have a Unico system that is a latent moving machine so I can raise my Tstat temp 2 or 3 degrees higher and be comfortable. It is not unusual to have high ambient heat and RH and have 75F and 37% rh inside. Are you in Ottawa ?

    This is just awesome. Thanks a million. I have 2 questions I hope you can answer.

    1. Where does humidity come from? I assume from water/ocean. Then how can they predict how humid it will be?
    2. At what point does clouds turn to rain? Is it when there is to much grains of water below or at the dew point or no connection?
    Thank you

    Great podcast definitely had my mind spinning and thinking about latent removal and the effects of lowering or increasing blower speed and how it will affect the moisture. Thank you!

    Brian sounds scary similar to Ben Shapiro. Service area Nepean??

    great video , i do question the thought that air hold moisture

    So I've been looking over the chart for a while now, but can seem to figure out a answer for a issue I have. So since enthalpy is a measure of total heat content of the air, does that mean an air sample with a higher enthalpy would feel "warmer"? I thought that was the case, but if you plot on the chart how an evaporative cooler works( wet bulb remains constant) then that would not be the case. If the wet bulb remains constant then that would cause the enthalpy to remain constant since it is an extension of the wet bulb line. So we do know a swamp cooler will produce cooler feeling air with higher rh and ah, but constant wet bulb. Can you please elaborate on this for me so I can wrap my head around it finally. Thanks.

    excellent podcast.

    i had to stop halfway… this is too good to listen to whilst doing other work. going to have to come back to this one when i have 100% attention to give.
