这项研究提出了一个详细的模型来分析小型空调系统。提出的模型放宽了以往研究中经常使用的固定吸入过热或固定蒸发器温度的限制。对每个部件，即压缩机、冷凝器、膨胀装置和蒸发器进行了详细的模拟。还实现了为冷凝器和蒸发器进行复杂电路设计的能力。比较了四种空调的系统性能。容量预测的偏差小于4%。还进行了仿真，以研究电路数量的影响。 结果表明，多电路设计优于单电路设计。对于相同数量的回路，系统性能与每个回路中的制冷剂流量分布有关。回路中的制冷剂流量越均匀，系统整体性能越好。单位:SICitation:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第108卷，第页。2.

This study presents a detailed model to analyze small air-conditioning systems. The proposed model has relaxed the constraint of the fixed suction superheat or fixed temperature at the evaporator that was often used in previous studies. Detailed simulations for each component, namely, the compressor, condenser, expansion device, and evaporator, are made. The ability of taking care of complex circuitry design for both condensers and evaporators is also implemented. Comparisons of system performance were made with the four air conditioners. The deviations of the capacity prediction are less than 4%. Simulations were also performed to investigate the influence of the number of circuits. It is shown that the multiple-circuit design outperformed that of one-circuit design. For the same umber of circuits, the system performance is related to the refrigerant flow distribution in each circuit. The more uniform the refrigerant flow in the circuitry, the better the overall system performance.Units: SI
