Rating Procedure for Mixed Air-Source Unitary Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Operating in the Cooling Mode. Revision 1

摘要

A procedure is presented for rating split, residential air conditioners and heat pumps operating in the cooling mode which are made up of an evaporator unit combined with a condensing unit which has been rated under current procedures in conjunction with a different evaporator unit. The procedure allows calculation of capacity at the 95 F rating point and seasonal energy efficiency ratio without performing laboratory tests of the complete system. The procedure has been prepared for the Department of Energy for consideration in the rule making process. It is a revised version of the original version of the procedure published in 1986.
