Author(s) : FARZAD M., O'NEAL D. L.

Type of article: Article, IJR article

Summary

A POPULAR TYPE OF RESIDENTIAL AIR CONDITIONER IN THE USA IS THE SPLIT SYSTEM. AS THE REFRIGERANT CHARGE OF THIS SYSTEM IS ADJUSTED DURING FIELD INSTALLATION, THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR NOT SETTING THE CHARGE EXACTLY TO THE MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE WORK REPORTED HERE WAS TO QUANTIFY THE INFLUENCE OF THE REFRIGERANT CHARGE ON THE STEADY-STATE AND CYCLIC OPERATION OF A RESIDENTIAL SPLIT-SYSTEM AIR CONDITIONER. UNDERCHARGING IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN OVERCHARGING. 5 % UNDERCHARGING CAUSES A 6 % DROP IN THE SEASONAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY RATIO.
