Notes: Items 1 and 2 assume that the Earth Air Tube process acts like a cooling coil and performs sensible cooling until the air reaches dew point, then moisture begins to form. Items 3 and 4 assume that the Earth Air Tube process is a reversible adiabatic process (as indicated by literature in the industry). Attached psychrometric charts illustrate items 3 and 4.

Additional cooling and dehumidification required to meet comfort criteria for inside design conditions. Illustrates ventilation air picking up heat gains in the space assuming a sensible heat ratio of 0.85. If not used for space loads, less cooling and dehumidificiation would be required.
