Type of article: Article

Summary

DEMONSTRATES THE ADVANTAGES OF RETROFITTING A SUBCOOLER LOOP IN ORDER TO REDUCE THE LIQUID REFRIGERANT TEMPERATURE LEAVING THE CONDENSER COIL. ANTICIPATES THAT THE SYSTEM WILL HAVE A LARGE IMPACT ON ENERGY SAVINGS IN HOT AND HUMID CLIMATES SUCH AS SAUDI ARABIA. SIMULATIONS SHOW PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT FOR AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS CAN BE AS HIGH AS 20% DURING PEAK PERIODS OF HIGH CONDENSING TEMPERATURES, WHEREAS HIGH TEMPERATURE AND LOW TEMPERATURE REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS UNDER THESE SAME CONDITIONS WILL PROVIDE ENERGY SAVINGS OF 20 AND 40% RESPECTIVELY.
