THE PROSPECT OF INCORPORATING DESUPERHEATERS TO ROOM AIR CONDITIONERS FOR TROPICAL APPLICATION.

Summary

THE EFFECT OF ENERGY RECOVERY ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A ROOM AIR-CONDITIONER AND THE POSSIBLE AMOUNT OF ENERGY RECOVERY, WHEN THE ENERGY IS USED FOR DOMESTIC WATER HEATING, HAVE BEEN STUDIED BY USING A COMPUTER MODEL. ENERGY RECOVERY IMPROVED THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIR CONDITIONER. A ROOM AIR CONDITIONER OF 3.22 KILOWATTS COOLING CAPACITY, HAVING A RECIPROCATING HERMETIC COMPRESSOR AND CAPILLARY TUBE, WAS USED IN THE STUDY. IT WAS FOUND THAT ENERGY RECOVERY REDUCED THE REFRIGERANT MASS FLOWRATE AND POWER CONSUMPTION, AND THE COOLING CAPACITY WAS APPROXIMATELY MAINTAINED, EXCEPT AT HIGH ENERGY RECOVERY RATE.
