Example 2: Use of Outside Air Chart on a Warm Day
The chart can also be used on a warm day
when the outside air temperature exceeds
both the return and the mixed air
temperatures. The first line drawn will slant in
a different direction. Once again it is best to do
this test when there is a minimum of 10
degrees F difference between the outside and
return air.

Measure the return air
temperature.
1
Measure the
outside air
temperature.
2
Draw a line
from the return
air on top to the
outside air on
the bottom.
3
Measure the mixed
air temperature.
This should be
done in 4 or more
locations and
averaged.
4
Draw a line straight down from the
mixed air temperature till it intersects
the line that was just drawn.
At the point of
intersection draw a
line to the left till
the percentage of
outside air is
indicated.
