In the figure, it shows that,

OA → Sensible heating

OB → Sensible cooling

OC → Humidification

OD → Dehumidification

OE → Heating + humidification

OF → Cooling + dehumidification

OG → Cooling + humidification

OH → Heating + dehumidification

In heat exchangers, the humid air is cooled, and (partial condensation) dehumidification is taking place. So the OF will be the process which is diagonal to the left side in a downward direction.
