Cooling Load % of Unit Cooling Capacity
In Figures III1 and III2, the distance of each data point from the x-axis represents the change in efficiency relative to the full-load efficiency for each unit at the outdoor test condition used.12 The single-speed room AC
efficiency decreases in correlation with a reduction in cooling load, reflecting
