Abstract

This investigation deals with the performance prediction of air conditioning unit. Theoretical and experimental studies were conducted to simulate the performance of vapor compression refrigeration cycle, using R-22 as a circulating refrigerant. The experimental work was carried out on an available air cooling unit which allows variation of different parameters such as air dry bulb temperature, flow rate and humidity affecting the operation conditions of the unit. The comparison between the predicted and experimental data of (COP), cooling load, compressor work and condenser load showed a very good agreement. Also a detailed design of finned tube evaporator heat exchanger coil in air conditioning unit was developed. Here, the vaporization and superheating portions of heat exchanger have been modeled separately to predict the exit air condition, dry bulb temperature and humidity content, at the leaving section of the cooling coil. The evaporator mathematical model showed a well agreement with the experimental data of this research.
