What is relative humidity ?

> Ratio of amount of water vapour in given volume of air, to maximum amount of water vapour that can be present before precipitation occurs.

> It is the mass of water vapour per unit volume of air compared to the mass of water vapour per unit volume of saturated air at the same temperature.


What is critical temperature ?

> Critical temperature is the temperature above which it is impossible to liquefy the refrigerant regardless of pressure.

> It should be as high as possible and certainly above the maximum expected condenser temperature.


What is saturated air ?

The air contains maximum weight of water vapour at the particular temperature.


What is superheating ?

Keeping refrigerant at a temperature above the saturated temperature.
