Applying CFD simulation in analysing split-type air conditioner performance in buildings.

Summary

The paper notes that in a multi-storey building, heat rejection by condensing units of split type conditioners induces a buoyant air flow. The adverse temperature environment could significantly affect the condenser performance, particularly for those in the upper levels of the building. The consequence is deterioration in the overall capacity and efficiency of the air conditioners.
