AC fan speed and sensible vs. latent cooling
I understand the basic idea that a lower fan speed on an AC unit shifts the balance more towards removing humidity, and a faster fan speed shifts the balance more towards lowering the temperature.
I’d love to see the math on how this balance plays out, and have been struggling to google up a more technical explanation.
Anyone have a good link to a technical explanation of how this works? Or want to walk through a basic example with some numbers?
Thanks much!
