| Summary: | (1989) test procedures. Tests were conducted at indoor (37.8-C), 105-F (40.6-C), 1 10-F (43.3-C), and 120-F (48.90C). The second phase of the research involved the 0.95 for the tested outdoor temperatures. In the analysis of A study was performed which investigated the effect of air conditioning units in psychrometric rooms at Texas A&M analysis of manufacturers' published cooling performance data and two-speed units, respectively. Normalized capacity, Averages values of EER/SEER for EER's at 95F (350C) were below the manufacturers' published values for outdoor between the SEER of a unit and its corresponding EER. The capacity, the experimental results were an average of 2.6% compared to manufacturers' predicted values. For the conditioning units. A statistical relationship was found conditions of 80'F (26.7'C) db and 67'F (19.4'C) wb, and configuration were investigated for a variety of air Experimental power measurements were on average 0.4% above followed by the two-speed and package-system units. for various hardware configurations. For the experimental given increase in SEER than the package or two-speed units. hardware configuration on air conditioning cooling system highest for the split-system units, followed by the package increase and smallest EER decrease with an increase in manufacturers' listed results. For the EER, experimental manufacturers' published data, relationships between steady- of the investigation involved the testing of ten residential outdoor db temperatures of 82'F (27.8'C), 95-F (35-C), 100-F outdoor temperature were exhibited by the split-system units, performance at high outdoor temperatures. The initial phase power, and EER curves were investigated at outdoor predicted values. The power factors of all units were above results were an average of 2.9% less than the manufacturers' split-system and package-system units. The smallest power split-system units possessed greater increases in EER for a state performance, cyclic performance, and hardware system power, EER, and power factor. These results were then temperatures from 85'F (29.4'C) to 115'F (46.l'C). temperatures from 85F (29.40C) to 115OF (46.1"C). On average, the two-speed units showed the smallest decrease in capacity University. All units were tested using ARI Standard 210/240 with an increase in outdoor temperature, followed by the work, measurements were taken to determine total capacity, |
