Energy efficiency evaluation index of unitary air conditioners for data center
A new performance evaluation index AEER*is proposed and its derivation process is given in view of the shortcomings of the existing performance evaluation index AEER of the new developed type air conditioner for computer room.The EER data of the air conditioner for computer room are purposefully selected,AEER and AEER*values of the samples are calculated.It is concluded that for the air conditioner for computer room with single cycle compressor,AEER and AEER*values are relatively close;the current AEER index weakens the two evaluation indexes of EERa and EERb for air conditioners for computer room with refrigerant pumping-compressing dual cycles or other types air condi-tioners for computer room using natural cold sources;it is more scientific and practical to use AEER* as the performance evaluation index of air conditioner for computer room.
