REFRIGERANT MIGRATION IN A SPLIT-UNIT AIR CONDITIONER.

Author(s) : MULROY W. J., DIDION D. A.

Summary

THE CYCLIC REFRIGERANT MIGRATION WAS MEASURED AT DIFFERENT POINTS IN THE OPERATING CYCLE BY SIMULTANEOUSLY SHUTTING FIVE PNEUMATICALLY OPERATED VALVES THAT ISOLATED THE REFRIGERANT IN THE MAJOR SYSTEM COMPONENTS. THE REFRIGERANT WAS THEN REMOVED, WEIGHED, AND RETURNED TO THE SYSTEM. THE UNIT PERFORMANCE WAS ALSO COMPARED TO SINGLE AND DOUBLE TIME CONSTANT REGRESSIVE APPROXIMATIONS AND TO THE TIME CONSTANT CALCULATED FROM THE EVAPORATOR MASS AND HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENT.
