Abstract: | This document describes the design of the outdoor environmental chamber of a
test facility for the collection of room air conditioner performance data over a wide range
of psychrometric conditions. A key component of this design work is the design of a
power measurement system to accurately determine the capacity and power
consumption of room air conditioners. The conceptual design of this system is
presented, along with the description of a system that has been implemented
temporarily for the determination of room air conditioner power. The other key
component of this design work is the design of systems which produce and maintain the
wide range of temperature and humidity conditions required in the outdoor
environmental chamber. Current information indicates that the selected control scheme
produces excellent temperature control of the outdoor chamber but does not provide an
acceptable level of independent humidity control. |
