Wet bulb temperature doesn’t have anything to do with air conditioning, unless you’re only talking about evaporative coolers.

- tomrod 5y agoFair. Cooling towers in commercial HVAC use evaporative cooling. Residential cooling doesn't, but still has to exchange heat to a system above the load it common transfers. I think it may be worse in these situations, but I am not sure.
- beervirus 5y agoSure, but the water in commercial AC is just to cool the compressor coils. It still uses a phase change system like any other AC, so it’s not limited by the wet bulb temperature (although the warmer the ambient temperature is, the less efficient it is).
