Summary

SEASONAL PERFORMANCE OF FOUR RESIDENTIAL-SIZED, CENTRAL AIR CONDITIONERS IN A HOT AND HUMID CLIMATE OF GULF ENVIRONMENT WAS MEASURED. A COMPUTER MODEL WAS DEVELOPED TO SIMULATE THE COOLING LOADS AND THE SEASONAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION. FOR AN 100 M2 RESIDENCE, EQUIPPED WITH A 17.6 KILOW AIR CONDITIONER, SIMULATIONS SHOW A CONSUMPTION OF ABOUT 22,200 KILOW/H OF ELECTRICITY FOR SPACE COOLING OVER 2,600 OPERATION HOURS, THIS BEING WITHIN 13% OF THE MEASURED VALUE. THE SEASONAL PERFORMANCE OF THREE (10.5, 12.3 AND 14.0 KILOW) AIR CONDITIONERS FOR THE SAME DUTY WAS ALSO PREDICTED.
