- Abstract
- The National Bureau of Standards performed capacity and overload tests of a 7 1/2 ton package unit air conditioner for the David Taylor Research Center. The unit capacity was measured to be 83,200 Btu/hr (6.9 tons), the Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) to be 8.58 Btu/Whr and the cooling effect ratio to be 62.7% at the requested capacity test condition. The unit failed to operate at the requested overload capacity test condition. Several additional tests were performed to more completely describe the performance of the unit.
