Abstract
A series of tests were performed to assesses the dehumidifying performance
of residential central air conditioners (CACs). The performance studies were
based on factors such as: (i) dynamic performance (ii) the ASHRAE comfort zone,
(iii) control strategy and (iv) published performance characteristic of the units. The
units were evaluated on their ability to maintain conditions in the ASHRAE comfort
zone in a typical residence and typical summer days in Houston, Texas.
