Abstract

Air conditioning systems consume high rates of energy, with the compressor consuming the largest portion of this energy. In this study, the performance of a variable-speed air conditioning system with a capacity of one ton was tested, which contains a compressor, a variable-speed supply fan, an electronic expansion valve, and a DX evaporator with R-410A refrigerant. The results showed that increasing DS does not affect the performance coefficient at a fixed compressor speed. Moreover, when the compressor speed increases, the performance factor decreases from 4.2 to 3.5 due to increased energy consumption.
