Uncertainty Evaluation of Dynamic Energy Efficiency Testing for Room Air Conditioner
To evaluate the reliability and increase the accuracy of dynamic energy efficiency testing of room air conditioners, uncertainty quantification of the dynamic test is essential. In this study, we categorize the uncertainty sources of dynamic testing into three types: systematic, random, and time-delay errors. The uncertainty resulting from systematic and random errors was evaluated using the GUM and MCM methods, with the error limits set based on the steady-state measurement uncertainty requirements specified in GB 7725—2022 Room Air Conditioners. The time-delay error was modeled and analyzed using a first-order model, with the sensor response time set based on common values. Using an air conditioner with a rated cooling capacity of 3.5 kW as an example, the uncertainty calculation results showed that the relative expanded uncertainty caused by systematic and random errors was 3.8%, and the uncertainty due to the time delay was 1.0%, leading to a total uncertainty of 3.9% in the dynamic energy efficiency. Extending to other air conditioners with various capacities, the total uncertainty should be in the range of 3.2% to 5.4%. Contribution analysis revealed that the uncertainty in capacity measurement caused by systematic error is the primary factor affecting the uncertainty in dynamic energy efficiency testing. Concerning the capacity measurement, the accuracy of the inlet and outlet wet-bulb temperatures of the indoor side makes the most significant contribution.
