Effect of Relative Position of Two Sets of Outdoor Units Installed in Groove on Surrounding Thermal Environment
The installation conditions of two outdoor units were examined experimentally in an enthalpy-potential laboratory platform in this study. The influence of three installation conditions of outdoor unit on the surrounding thermal environment
air conditioner EER and groove area was studied. Three kinds of the outdoor unit installation conditions of groove were vertical installation of the same plane (two outdoor units at the same height
the length extension line of the outdoor unit perpendicular to each other and intersect)
horizontal installation of the same plane (two outdoor units at the same height
the length extension line of the outdoor unit is collinear) and parallel installation in height direction along the wall (two outdoor units at different heights
the height extension line of the outdoor unit is collinear)
respectively. For vertical installation in the same plane
the results suggest that horizontal distance (parallel to the exterior wall) d1 should not be less than 650 mm. Otherwise
a less favorable ambient environment will be obtained for the outdoor unit
and the return air temperature will be higher than normal
at 45 ℃. Further
the vertical distance (perpendicular to the exterior wall) d2 is recommended as 300 mm because bigger distance would cause the return air temperature to rise. If the slots do not match the installation conditions
but meet the horizontal and vertical spacing requirements (greater than 650 mm × 300 mm)
the perpendicular installation method to yield vertical installation in the same plane is recommended. The return air effect is good when plane installation is employed
and the considered grooves occupy a large area. Further
neither the return air temperature nor energy efficiency ratio (EER) increase obviously when d1 is more than 70 mm; thus
the optimal distance is 70 mm. When vertical installation perpendicular to the plane is employed
the groove area is less than those for horizontal installation and vertical installation in the same plane
and the return air effect is considerably better than that for vertical installation in the same plane. In addition
the lowest return air temperature is lower than that for plane installation; thus
