对PUREZ、HPSIM和ACMODEL三种公共领域计算机模拟模型进行了评估，以评估它们预测四个空调系统在各种条件下运行的除湿性能的能力。根据这些结果，选择了最精确的模型来模拟四个额外的空调系统。PUREZ被发现与最初四台机组的实测除湿性能最接近，附加分析表明，其对总制冷量、潜在制冷量和显冷量的预测几乎在实验室测量的不确定性范围内。总体而言，PUREZ和HPSIM高估了显热比。 ACMODEL能够准确预测总产能；然而，它高估了潜在容量，低估了感知容量。单位:双引证:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，1998年，第104卷，第2部分，多伦多

Three public-domain computer simulation models, PUREZ, HPSIM, and ACMODEL were evaluated in their ability to predict the dehumidification performance of four air-conditioning systems operating over a wide range of conditions. Based on the results, the most accurate model was selected for simulations of four additional air-conditioning systems. PUREZ was found to give the closest agreement to the measured dehumidification performance of the initial four units, and the additional analyses showed that its predictions of total, latent, and sensible cooling capacity are nearly within the uncertainties of the laboratory measurements. In general, PUREZ and HPSIM overpredicted the sensible heat ratio. ACMODEL was able to accurately predict total capacity; however, it overpredicted latent capacity and underpredicted sensible capacity.Units: Dual
