Let's try that again...

> So, I understand the difference, but I'm trying to calculate backwards.

Given the following, what is the temperature of the air leaving the system?

Entering air:   96F dry bulb, and 77F wet bulb.

Air flow:          3200 CFM.

Cooling:  12 tons, or 144,000 Btu/hr


I get 69F, but it's been 32 years since I had to scribble on a
psychrometric chart...

Anybody got a simple method, or a link to an online calculator for
people who work backwards?
