- Abstract
- A procedure is presented for rating split, residential air conditioners and heat pumps operating in the cooling mode which are made up of an evaporator unit combined with a condensing unit which has been rated under current procedures in conjunction with a different evaporator unit. The procedure allows calculation of capacity at the 95 degrees F rating point and seasonal energy efficiency ratio, SEER, without performing laboratory tests of the complete system.
