Abstract

Running residential or commercial split type air-conditioners plays a vital role for increasing electrical energy consumption in large quantity. While considering the performance of air conditioning system or specific energy consumption which is to be considered, as a function of condenser, compressor and evaporator performance respectively. By improving the heat transfer efficiency of the condenser performance improvement can be achieved, which helps in reducing electrical consumption. In the present study, the performance of air cooled condensing unit has been studied by applying different methods for its improvement.
