Yep. Anyhow, Latent heat has to go first. Then sensible.

Your error is that your condenser wont run long enough to keep the evaporator cold. It will cycle on and off. Commercial buildings get past this issue with reheat. Reheat isnt something that you find in homes.
Anyhow we are mainly talking about HUMID climates like South east Florida.

The air gets down to the dew point via sensible cooling solo with no latent. Then it’s a combo of latent and sensible walking hand in hand.

Yes, However we are talking about Humid climates. The Dew-point is 75 - 80F.
In in really humid places, you can hop in your car, start it up and turn on the ac and suddenly you cant see anymore with all the fog coming out of your vents and you feel like someone just hit you with a cool wet rag.

That’s really all supply air from any ac unit. Cool clammy close to 100% rh air.

Thats why I always keep the blower on medium high to high and the AC on and adjust the temperature until the air blowing on me is comfortable. I usually like it around 72°f to 80°f and ultra low humidity coming out of the vents.

I'm tired of these mediocre "semi flammable" refrigerants. If we're going to do it let's do it right.
Unless we change direction we are likely to end up where we are going.

Someone please tell me if I misunderstood something but a 5-ton fan coil, even on its lowest speed setting and at 0.5 static will still be at well over 1000 CFM. How can this work successfully with a 2-ton condenser and run cold enough to remove (enough) humidity?
Also, are they running with the 5-ton txv or.... what exactly? I've never seen a grossly mis-matched system, let alone on purpose!
Thanks!

BTW I say over 1000 CFM conservatively. Most psc and constant torque will run closer to 1200 CFM on low speed.

Select systems that are designated
with a currently active AHRI rating.

Guidelines
The selection of DX evaporator coils must be based on the compressor-bearing product requirements.
Improper coil selection can cause the system to shut down due to a
safety control, or worse, it can cause the compressor to fail.
Therefore, the guidelines of the condensing unit manufacturer should always be followed in component selection.

I was referring to in the car using the AC with the heater for reheat.

The air discharging from a normally operating AC system is not low RH - rather it is at or close to 100% humidity. At the evaporator the air was chilled to the dew point. After the evap. coil the air flow contains pretty much all the moisture that it possibly Can contain. <g>

In my truck the evaporator runs just above freezing and I adjust the reheat until the supply air is 72°f to 80°f and much lower humidity. It dries me out after sweating in an attic much faster than ice cold high humidity air does. I didn't make it very clear what I was talking about.

Of course the cold discharge air has High relative humidity. For about 2 seconds until it comes in contact with the warm room air. And the relative humidity drops like a rock. You confuse Relative humidity with absolute humidity.
