Abstract
Room air conditioner is widely used in a single room or other enclosed spaces to increase the comfort of the environment. It adjusts the temperature and humidity to maintain the comfort for humans; dehumidification is a very important function of room air conditioner. This paper demonstrated the relationship among dehumidification capacity, entering air parameters, and evaporative temperature, presented the calculation method of maximum condensate water flow rate in certain condition, discussed the interaction of energy efficiency ratio and dehumidification capacity, and gave the relationship of condensate water flow rate and evaporative temperature using a specific compressor model. It is suggested that a balance should be made between dehumidification capacity and energy efficiency ratio for room air conditioner operating requirement.
