A reheater in an air conditioning system performs what function?

Arestores the conditioned air temperature to a comfortable level
Bcontrols the inlet air volume
Cmaintains the relative humidity at 15%
Dcontrols the inlet air temperature
AI Explanation

You are correct, the answer A) restores the conditioned air temperature to a comfortable level is the correct answer. A reheater in an air conditioning system functions to reheat the air after it has been cooled and dehumidified by the system. This allows the system to restore the air temperature to a comfortable level for the occupants, as the cooling process can sometimes make the air feel too cold. The other options are incorrect because: B) the inlet air volume is controlled by other components like fans or dampers, C) the relative humidity is maintained by the dehumidification process, not the reheater, and D) the inlet air temperature is controlled by the cooling coil, not the reheater.
