Abstract

Because of the superior performance of the multi-unit variable frequency-driven (VFD) direct expansion (DX) air-conditioning system, installing this kind of system in rental commercial buildings, dwelling houses, and schools is becoming more and more popular in Taiwan. Even though the features and characteristics of the multi-unit VFD DX system are different from those of the central system, it is still assessed by the conventional method used for evaluating the efficiency of all air-conditioning systems, which is designed mainly for central systems. This article explains the problems that occur when the current assessment method is applied to the multi-unit VFD DX system. An alternative assessment method is proposed.
