The Psychrometric Chart is widely used in the [heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration] HVACR industry to graphically present the precise relationship between various conditions of air. It can be used to visualize what happens when you alter the air (i.e. heat, cool, humidify) in an air conditioning process. 3, record 1, English, - psychrometric%20chart

In sources consulted, some authors used wrongly "psychometric chart" instead of "psychrometric chart". One must not confuse "psychrometric" with "psychometric" which means: "relating to the measurement of mental or subjective data" (Webster, 1993, p. 1834). 4, record 1, English, - psychrometric%20chart
