Development of Temperature and Humidity-Based Indicators for Diagnosing Problems in Low Tonnage, Split System Air Conditioners
Abstract
This paper presents results of a survey of the
literature and identifies the most common degraded
conditions associated with low-tonnage air
conditioners. Other laboratory studies as well as
marketed diagnostic systems are also summarized. A
procedure for identification of useful, low-cost
temperature-based indicators of degraded conditions
has been developed at the Energy Systems
Laboratory, Texas A&M University in College
Station, TX under contract to Honeywell. This paper
presents the methodology used to identify the
temperature-based indicators for the most common
degraded conditions gleaned from the literature.
