  • System and method for evaluating air conditioner performance at part-load conditions
    Patent number: 12339022
    Abstract: A system generates performance data, including supply air temperature and supply air dew point temperature, of an air conditioning device when provided with parameters of the air conditioning device, such as specifications of individual components of the air conditioning device. The system automatically modulates operating parameters for the simulated air conditioning device in order to achieve set point conditions and subsequently provides suggested operating parameters for the air conditioning device to enable the air conditioning device to achieve a set point temperature, a set point relative humidity, and/or a set point dew point temperature at one or more part-load conditions. In one embodiment, the system automatically calibrates the air conditioning device to operate the device to achieve user-defined setpoints.
