Abstract

Using the method of air enthalpy difference, an experiment on the 3HP air conditioner was conducted by changing the installation conditions. And some relevant parameters of the test system were measured by computer. The results show that, in cooling conditions, the thermal environment of the outdoor unit deteriorated when both sides of the shutter were closed, which was not conducive to the operation of the unit. If it is inevitable, we should increase the distance between the inlet and the shutter, or incline the outdoor unit properly to make the unit operate better. Besides, with the increase of the inlet temperature, the downtrend of COP changed from fast to slow in cooling conditions. However, the installation places of outdoor unit had little effect on the COP in heating conditions.
