RESIDENTIAL AIR CONDITIONING ENERGY CALCULATIONS.

Author(s) : KHATTAR M. K.

Summary

A METHOD OF ESTIMATING COOLING ENERGY REQUIREMENTS BY A DIRECT EXPANSION RESIDENTIAL AIR CONDITIONER OPERATING SOLELY ON A THERMOSTAT IS PRESENTED HERE. AN AIR CONDITIONER ALSO DEHUMIDIFIES WHILE COOLING, BUT THE INDOOR HUMIDITY IS NOT DIRECTLY CONTROLLED. THE INDOOR HUMIDITY REACHES A BALANCE POINT WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER OPERATING SENSIBLE HEAT RATIO IS EQUAL TO THE BUILDING COOLING AND DEHUMIDIFICATION LOAD SENSIBLE HEAT RATIO. A METHOD AND COMPUTER ALGORITHM IS PRESENTED TO ESTIMATE THE RESULTING INDOOR HUMIDITY, THE LATENT LOAD REMOVED BY THE AIR CONDITIONER, AND COOLING ENERGY REQUIRED. IT CAN ACCOUNT FOR THE PERFORMANCE VARIATION OF THE AIR CONDITIONER AT OFF-RATED OPERATING CONDITIONS.
