Abstract
A stationary model to simulate the performance of an air
conditioning system (A/C) has been developed. A key feature is that
the parameters needed by the model can be identified simply by
using those provided by the components' suppliers as input
data. As output, main A/C performance parameters are calculated:
refrigerant power generated, mechanical power absorbed; fluid
thermal properties at the inlet and outlet of the components and
thermo-hygrometric property of the air at the evaporator
outlet.
Some comparisons, simulations versus experiments, are presented.
The average accuracy is close to 7% for almost all quantities
involved (powers and thermodynamic properties of the fluid and of
the air).
