Brief Description
Description : | The air enthalpy method is accepted as an alternate secondary test method to estimate cooling capacity by many international standards like ISO 5151-2010 and ASHRAE/ANSI 3Technology Demonstration-2009 and same is applied in the ACE Meter by measuring Air flow rate, Dry Bulb Temperature, Humidity at both Supply and Return sides, power consumed. The Enthalpy, specific density, etc are calculated using the Dry Bulb Temperature and Humidity values of the corresponding air delivery side by referring to the Psychometric chart that has been hooked up in the instrument. Based on the above parameters; the performance of an air conditioner kW/Ton, EER is estimated and displayed by ACE Meter |
