本项目的目的是设计、建造和演示一个用于校准室内空调试验室的系统。该系统的设计使其可以作为一个行业标准，各个空调制造商可以复制该系统供自己使用。最初规定的设计目标如下:（1）4000至36000 Btu/hr（1.2 kw至10.5 kw）的可变冷却能力（2）将平均冷却能力控制在设定值的+/-0-5%范围内。 （3） 在整个工作范围内，以+/-0.7%的精度确定冷却能力（最好为+/-0.5%）。（4） 将进入热量计室的冷却液温度水平保持在冷却负荷控制所需值的+/-0.1 C（+/-0.2 F）范围内。（5） 确定热量计室的潜热去除率。（该测量未制定规范。）

The purpose of this project was to design, build, and demonstrate a system for calibrating room air conditioner test rooms. This system was to be designed such that it could serve as an industry wide standard with individual air conditioner manufacturers reproducing the system for their own use. Design goals as originally stated were as follows:(1) Variable cooling capacity ranging from 4000 to 36,000 Btu/hr (1.2 kw to 10.5 kW)(2) Maintain control of the average cooling capacity to within +/- 0-5% of the set point.(3) Determine cooling capacity to an accuracy of +/- 0.7% perferably +/- O.5%) over entire operating range.(4) Maintain temperature level of coolant entering calorimeter room to within +/- 0.1 C (+/- 0.2 F) of the value required for cooling load control.(5) Determine the rate of latent heat removal from the calorimeter room. (No specifications were established for this measurement.)
