PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A SPLIT TYPE ROOM AIR CONDITIONER
Keywords:
KeywordsAbstract
This paper investigates the performance of a split room air conditioner in the special-purpose
laboratory room. In order to evaluate the performance, an experimental set-up is constructed. The experimental components consist of a split room air conditioner which has, a hermetic
compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, capillary tube and two fans. For on-line reading
purposes , it uses data acquisition system and power meter. The unit is installed in the energy
conservation laboratory with the room volume of 16.8 m' at Faculty of Engineering, Universiti
Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. Experimental result is obtained for various ambient temperatures. The
electricity consumption and coefficient ofperformance ofthe system are measured and presented as a function ofthe ambient temperature.
