I can see a market for an atmospheric enthalpy meter. Every OEM level HVAC designer could use one to make measurements quicker and more convenient. It is very rare for an installer or house-call technician to need that. (Most of them wouldn't even know what to do with the answers!) Air conditioners don't break just a little bit, the kind of, "little bit" that would require an enthalpy meter.
Then again, I think I can safely assume you examined that market.

Meanwhile, I'm working the night shift in order to work in a heat index below 90F. The problem is, I'm so old that I'm really pooped after 6 hours of crawling under a car. I don't think this job will be finished before dawn.

 

Enthalpy and wet bulb are essentially the same thing, so a sling psychrometer to get wet bulb is one way to go. There are newer and fancier devices like Joey showed us but I'm not sure they're better.

 

It is 112 deg F in my shop. Temperature peaks at 2 PM, over an hour from now. Currently, here is about a 76 degree difference between the outside temperature and the beer in my hand.

Holly sweatband Batman!!

 

I'm drinking a Boddingtons Pub Ale (no Guinness available). Not bad. What are you drinking?

 

Maintenance beer, Bud Lite. (I am machining a side panel for a project.) I have a Sam Adams Nitro coffee Stout for later.

Oh my ... Joey! avert your eyes before it's too late!

Yeah. I'm going to have to put @Lestraveled on my ignore list if he keeps that up.

 

Hey man, if I drink the good stuff while operating a drill mill, the panel will look like Swiss cheese when I am done.

Isn't that what O'doulls is for?

"What beer drinkers drink when they're not drinking beer."

I say if you're not drinking beer, you're not a beer drinker...

No matter how hard you try, you will always be second on Joey's ignore list.

 

Why is drinking Bud Lite, like making love in a canoe? Because it F@*king close to water.

The temperature topped out at 115 deg F in my shop.

In my shop I've adopted a policy of no beer until the power tools are shut off for the day. This is mostly for my own safety and partly for the quality of my projects. But it's also a rule my son-in-law and grandson see me obey, and it feels good to impart that little bit of wisdom to the next generations. It might save them learning the wisdom of that rule the hard way like I did. I also show them how I wear PPE.

 

Yes, I know it's a bad habit. I was just drilling holes in a panel. If it was something more complex or dangerous I would have definitely not imbibed.

This is why God gave you 10 fingers, 10 toes, and 2 of almost everything else...

What's the humidity been out there, Les?

At the airport it is 13%. (It is 100% on my brow.)

They are predicting a high of only 112 deg F today. I may have to get a sweater.

 

joey....thanks for the corrected sensor. I believe that was the hub bub back then, the sensor.
I appreciate the info, but I stay out of the root cellar now days. It reminds me of a future destination.

 

Humidity here has been around 65%, with temperatures of 39 celsius... horrible sticky warm weather...

 

My niece just posted this, she lives in AZ ..WOW !
