INFLUENCE OF ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SMALL WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER RETROFITTED WITH R407C AND R290

Abstract

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) on the performance of window air conditioner retrofitted with R407C and R290. The window air conditioner applying the EEV is tested by varying the compressor inlet superheat from 0
