On [a] psychrometric chart, this process is represented as [a] line sloping downward and to the left. This process is assumed to occur as simple cooling first and then condensation. While the moisture is condensing the air is assumed to remain saturated. Source CED Engineering course PDF: 'Air Conditioning Psychrometrics (A.Bhatia)'
