CPC F24F 11/63 (2018.01) [F24F 11/74 (2018.01); F24F 11/80 (2018.01); F24F 2140/50 (2018.01)] | 20 Claims |
1. A system for simulating air conditioner performance at part-load conditions, comprising:
a device, including a processor and a memory;
wherein the device receives a selection of one or more sets of condition parameters of at least one heating, air conditioning, and ventilation (HVAC) device;
wherein the one or more sets of condition parameters include at least one set of condition parameters indicating a part-load condition for the at least one HVAC device;
wherein the device receives a selection of one or more part load components for the at least one HVAC device;
wherein the device determines whether the one or more part-load components meet one or more preestablished criteria;
wherein, if the one or more part-load components are determined to be sufficient, the device generates operating parameters for the at least one HVAC device at each of the one or more sets of condition parameters;
wherein the device does not generate the operating parameters if the one or more part-load components are not determined to be sufficient; and
wherein the operating parameters include, but are not limited to, a leaving air dew point temperature, a leaving air dry bulb temperature, and/or a leaving air wet bulb temperature for each of the at least one HVAC device; and
wherein the device receives functional parameters for the at least one HVAC device including a number of rows of an evaporator coil of the at least one HVAC device, a number of fins per inch (FPI) for the evaporator coil, a face area of the evaporator coil, a first subcooling level, a last subcooling level, an interval between subcooling levels, an additional amount of liquid subcooling, a degradation factor, a superheat temperature, and/or a wattage of the at least one HVAC device.
