The project involves building a collapsible 4ft x 4ft x 8ft split psychrometric room, designed for easy transportation and storage, to be used as a classroom demonstration tool. Equipped with sensors to monitor temperature and humidity, the chamber uses an HVAC unit and a duct heater that can adjust the internal environments from as high as 114°F to and as low as 34°F, along with humidity control. This project will show the thermodynamic processes required to reach various areas on the psychrometric chart. Additionally, the project will feature a mini vapor compression loop, which will demonstrate the refrigeration cycle, including the key thermodynamic concepts of compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation.
