Abstract
This report summarizes: (1) the performance improvements
possible for central air conditioners and heat pumps using
conventional design improvements, (2) the development of a
methodology for estimating the seasonal performance of variable
speed heat pumps and air conditioners, and (3) the estimated
maximum efficiency levels that are technically feasible for
variable speed heat pumps and air conditioners. This report
builds on the work summarized in an earlier report from the
Energy Systems Laboratory[2].
