IIR documentSummary
Two specific areas are addressed: 1) the necessity for effective estimates of infiltration rates in buildings; and 2) the dependence of vapour compression air conditioning systems on refrigerant charge. It is shown that the estimate of air infiltration rates through simple tests such as blower-tests is not applicable. In addition, there may be measurable drops in the capacity of air conditioning systems (on the order of up to 10%) for non-insignificant variations in the refrigerant charge from the optimum value.
