Enhancement of condensate water quantity and coefficient of performance of an air conditioning system: An experimental study
The objective of the present work is to increase the quantity of condensate water from atmospheric air during the air conditioning (A/C) process by using two techniques: increasing moisture content in atmospheric air by adding steam and passing compressed air instead of atmospheric air, respectively. The experiment was performed with both capillary valve and thermostatic expansion valve operations for assessing the volume flow rates (VFRs) of condensate and coefficient of performance (COP) concerning the air A/C arrangement. The control valve operated for the steam supply case was at half valve opening and one‐fourth opening, respectively. The R‐22 refrigerant was used in this study. From this study, it was perceived that the condensate water quantity was increased by adding the moisture to the inlet air for the A/C system simultaneously with the usage of compressed air. Furthermore, the COP of the system was also compared to normal atmospheric air admission conditions. The compressed air and steam admission to the A/C system has shown a tremendous increase in COP together with the VFR of the system rather than atmospheric air admission conditions.
