ENERGY EFFICIENT AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND METHOD UTILIZING VARIABLE CAPACITY COMPRESSOR AND SENSIBLE HEAT RATIO LOAD MATCHING.

摘要

An air conditioning system that may incorporate a controller, a variable capacity compressor responsive to the controller, an evaporator in communication with an input of the compressor, and at least one cooling component for generating an airflow over the evaporator to generate a cooling airflow using the evaporator, the cooling component being responsive to the controller. A first input enables a user to provide a user determined dry bulb temperature range for an enclosed environment, and a second input enables the user to provide a user determined moisture content range for the enclosed environment. The controller controls at least one of the compressor and the cooling component to vary a sensible heat ratio (SHR), in order to maintain a dry bulb temperature and the moisture content within the enclosed environment in accordance with the user defined ranges.
