What can you say about an off coil of 11C DB and 100% RH?

Is it ok to have an off coil of 11C DB and 100%RH if our desired room temperature 22-24C? Isn't it at 100%RH the air is at saturation point?

I would highly appreciate any comments.

Thanks

That depends upon the require humidity in the room. 22C with 50% RH corresponds to a dew point temperature of 11.11 and with 5% coil BPF, you will be in trouble. If the room required RH is 60% or above, that will work. Make sure that there is enough air flow to take care of the room heat load.

 
Air at 72*f and 50% RH has 58.397 gr/lb of air and air at 52*f and say 97% RH has 55.858 gr/lb air so he would end up with say 72*F and about 48% at 56.031gr/lb as I see it. Of course as the DB goes up the RH could go down if the coil conditions are maintained
