Résumé

Superheat control of refrigerant flow using thermostatic expansion valves (TEV) has been widely employed in residential air conditioning and heat pump (RAC&HP). Subcooling control is an alternative for refrigerant flow metering focusing on maximizing COP/HPF or capacity. An electronic expansion valve (EEV) adjusts subcooling while an accumulator prevents liquid return. The paper provides an experimental analysis on the performance of a RAC system with subcooling control. Performance of the system was evaluated at different conditions, at nominal charge. Superheat and subcooling control are compared. Refrigerant charge was also optimized at a single condition for both superheat and subcooling control. Results show a 10.1% increase in COP using subcooling control for indoor/outdoor temperatures of 20°C/40°C. Subcooling control provides a balance between the increase in specific compression work and the increase in specific refrigerating effect.
