Object of the project
|
The performance of an air conditioner is an important indication of the energy consumption. There are various measurements and procedures being used to test the performance of an air conditioner. Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) is currently the one most commonly adopted. However, it does not always accurately reflect the actual performances of air conditioners. This is because the rating is based only on a particular environmental condition and does not consider the entire ...(more) |
Budget
|
The total cost of proposal for this study is US$250,000, and the total approved budget is US$60,000 from APEC funding. Self-financing budget is US$190,000. |
Scope of Work
|
The main output of this project is an analytical platform presented as a software package that evaluates the SEER value for room air conditioners to be tested. The program produces a prompt and accurate estimation of the air conditioners’ energy performance. With the aid of such a program, the design of high-efficiency air conditioners becomes possible. Furthermore, the program reduces the market trade barrier and brings the economic prosperity in the APEC com ...(more) |
