Summary

The balanced ambient room type calorimeter is generally used as the cooling capacity measurement standard equipment in the air conditioner industry. However, the calibration procedure is not investigated. In this study, based on the empty-load situation of calorimeter, the calibration model is proposed in order to restrain the error of heat balance caused by long-term use. Besides, two new parameters, which are background value of indoor-side and outdoor-side, are presented in accordance with the calibration model. Experiments are designed to obtain these two parameters and three heat leakage coefficients of partition wall, as well as the calibration procedure and application method of the parameters are illustrated. The corrected calorimeter measures ten different window type air conditioners in one year. The results show that the absolute value of heat balance is less than 2% in the cooling capacity range of 2000W~4500W and 1% in the range of 4500W~7000W.
