Developing and validating a dynamic mathematical model of a three-evaporator air conditioning (TEAC) system

The TEAC model was validated using a purpose-built TEAC experimental rig. Model predictions were found to be within ±6% of the measured values, suggesting that the model developed was capable of simulating both steady state and dynamic operation of a TEAC system with an acceptable modeling accuracy. Therefore, the TEAC model developed is expected to be very useful in studying the operating performances and developing novel controllers for TEAC systems, in particular the improved indoor relative humidity control using a TEAC system.
