hi
is the humidity ratio could be controlled at fan coils units as in AHU's?

Cooling coils in both types of equipment can be selected to dehumidify. However, coil options (such as face area, quantity of rows, tube diameter, fin types and spacings and circuiting) that affect sensible heat ratio are generally limited to just a few choices for fan coil units, while unlimited choices for coils in air handling units offer much greater flexibility to alter latent capacity.

thanks . i m asking about if there is a humidity sensors could be use at fcu's and those senseros of course controlled by a ddc. in another way can i use a fcu's system at a place which humidity ratio is raising up continuously like a gym?
thanks again.

Yes, you can modulate the dehumidifcation capacity of a chilled water coil (in either an air handling unit or fan coil unit) using a DDC system that receives input from a relative humidity sensor. Of course, the control algorithm in the DDC system would need to be programmed with your desired priority for humidity control compared to temperature control.
