利用1.5吨（5.3千瓦）房间空调的数据，开发并验证了房间空调计算机模拟的组件子模型。室内空调器的测试范围非常广，室内和室外温度范围从67°F到115°F（20°-46°C）。在验证过程中，解决了与模拟房间空调相关的问题:蒸发器和冷凝器气流不均匀、再循环和毛细管。蒸发器、冷凝器、毛细管和压缩机功率模型准确，适用于系统模拟。然而，压缩机质量流量子模型的均方根误差为7%，在实现准确的系统模拟之前，必须纠正这一误差。整个验证过程变得更加简单，因为使用牛顿法将仿真模型和求解程序分开- 用拉斐逊解法求解方程组。这种分离允许用户轻松地用变量“交换”参数，只要方程保持独立。通过开发自动松弛、变量检查和方程切换方法，克服了与使用牛顿-拉夫森程序高度非线性和不连续方程相关的固有问题。单位:双引证:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1998年，第104卷，第2部分，多伦多

Component submodels for a room air conditioner computer simulation were developed and validated using data from a 1.5 ton (5.3 kW) room air conditioner. The room air conditioner was tested over an extremely wide range, indoor and outdoor temperatures from 67°F to 115°F (20°-46°C). During the validation, the problems associated with modeling room air conditioners were addressed: nonuniform evaporator and condenser airflow, recirculation, and the capillary tube. The evaporator, condenser, capillary tube, and compressor power models are accurate and suitable for system simulation. However, the RMS error for the compressor mass flow submodel was 7%, an inaccuracy that must be corrected before accurate system simulation can be achieved.The entire validation procedure was made easier because the simulation model and solver routine are kept separate by using the Newton-Raphson solution method to solve the equations. This separation allows the user to easily "swap" parameters with variables as long as the equations remain independent. The inherent problems associated with the use of the Newton-Raphson routine-highly nonlinear and discontinuous equations-were overcome by developing automatic-relaxation, variable-checking, and equation-switching methods.Units: Dual
