Popis: An experimental investigation on the performance of an air conditioner and its operating conditions under constant outdoor moisture content and varied dry-bulb temperature has been accomplished. The test was conducted on an air conditioner using R32 with a nominal cooling capacity of 2.6 kW and the test was carried out in a controlled and standardized test room. During the test, the outdoor temperature was varied from 24 to 36℃ while maintaining the humidity ratio at 14.9 kg vapor per 1 kg of dry air. The indoor compartment was maintained at 27℃ dry-bulb temperature and 19℃ wet-bulb temperature. Generally, as the temperature of outdoor air increases by 1℃, the input power increases by 1.4%, the cooling capacity decreases by 0.9%, and the coefficient of performance decreases by 1.95%. In addition, the outdoor air temperature has a more significant effect on the refrigerant discharge and liquid line temperature than that of refrigerant suction temperature.
