How does air conditioning alter the relative humidity of a room?

Air conditioners use a process called refrigeration, and take advantage of the physical principal in which converstion of air(a gas) to liquid (water), heat is absorbed. Air conditioners use this law by using metal coils filled with refrigerants (chemicals with cooling properties) and fans to blow air across the coils repeatedly, to cause evaporation and condensation of the moisture in the air. The refrigerant absorbs the heat that is produced, and high pressure within the coils is used to pump the warmed coolant and dispose of the excess heat that is produced. The system will have to run at a certain level of efficiency to be effective at cooling the interior air. Overall this process causes the interior air to become cooler, and releases water as a byproduct, therefore reducing the humidity of air in a room.

What is used to lower the relative humidity of room?
dehumidifier
What is the relative humidity of a room having a dry bulb 72 degrees F and a wet bulb temperature of 59 degrees F?
answer is
Does an air conditioner add humidity to a room?
The simple answer is no. What an air conditioner does, is cool air (obviously). When air is cooled however, it loses its ability to hold moisture. Therefore, the relative humidity (Water vapor/Capacity) of the air in the room will increase despite the fact that no moisture was added.
How you can control humidity in room?
open windows
What is the recommended humidity level for a house in Colorado when the inside temperature is 72 degrees?
A humidity level of 35-40 percent is considered best. Room Temp
What is used to lower the relative humidity of room?
dehumidifier
What would happen to relative humidity in the room if the air conditioner turned on?
If the water vapor amount stayed the same, then the relative humidity would be greater.
What happens to relative humidity as a parcel or air rises?
The relative humidity drops. This is because the temperature for the parcel of air is cold and wet which leaves enough room for some water vapor, but not a lot.
What is the comfortable room humidity?
Humidity ratio or relative humidity id the ratio of the actual mass of water vapour that would saturate the air at the same temperature, the comfortable room humidity is 50%.
How can window ac cool the room when fitted inside the room?
A window air conditioning unit placed in a windowless room ceases to be an air conditioner and instead becomes a dehumidifier, however, unless the condensed humidity (water) is removed from the room, it will simply be absorbed back into the room air as humidity.
Why does your throat feel very dry when you sleep in an air conditioned room?
Because the process of refrigerating ("conditioning") air not only reduces its temperature, but also reduces its relative humidity, so the air in the bedroom is relatively dry air, and your pipes dry out from breathing it all night.
Why does your throat feel very dry when you sleep in an air-conditioned room?
Because the process of refrigerating ("conditioning") air not only reduces its temperature, but also reduces its relative humidity, so the air in the bedroom is relatively dry air, and your pipes dry out from breathing it all night.

Why is the humidity in the room when air conditioner is running?
Why is there humidity in the room when air conditioner is cooling? Room feels damp.
How fast does water evaporate in a 50 gallon tank?
Depends on whether or not it has a canopy, as well as the relative humidity of the room it is kept in. Its impossible to say without experimentation.
What are the Difference between Air conditioning and Refrigerator?
air conditioning is used to cool down the temperature of a room, but Refrigerator are made to keep food from rottening.
