ANOTHER ASPECT OF DUTY CYCLING: EFFECTS ON INDOOR HUMIDITY.

Author(s) : KHATTAR M. K., SWAMI M. V., RAMANAN N.

Summary

MEASUREMENTS OF THE CONDENSATE REMOVAL FROM THE AIR CONDITIONE RAS WELL AS ITS TRANSIENT SENSIBLE AND LATENT COOLING PERFORMANCE DURING CYCLING OPERATION SHOWED THAT THE NET MOISTURE REMOVAL WAS REDUCED WHEN THE FAN OPERATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE AVERAGE MOISTURE-REMOVAL PERFORMANCE WAS RELATIVELY INDEPENDENT OF THE COMPRESSOR RUN-TIME FRACTION IN THE FAN < AUTO > MODE, BUT IT VARIED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE FAN < ON > MODE. THE RE-EVAPORATION RATE INCREASED WITH INCREASED NUMBER OF CYCLES. THE INDOOR HUMIDITY LEVEL WAS HIGHER IN FAN < ON > MODE COMPARED TO THE FAN < AUTO > MODE. MOST AIR-CONDITIONER DUTY-CYCLING DEVICES, WHICH LETTHE INDOOR-AIR FAN OPERATE AFTER THE COMPRESSOR TURNS OFF, WILL RE-EVAPORATE SOME OF THE CONDENSED MOISTURE.
