Abstract

Air-conditioning plays an important role to produce comfort conditions in which the human being tend to feel highly comfortable. The most popular type that is used in residential is split-unit type air-conditioner. The efficiency of the split unit air-conditioner can be calculated using coefficient of performance (COP). This project focus on water-cooled condenser cooling system at residential air-conditioner because of COP of the system with usage of water-cooled condenser is higher compare to air cooled-condenser. Usually water-cooled condenser can be found at chiller system, been used only for large industrial area and rarely found in residential air-conditioner. Therefore, this project aims to developed water-cooled condenser for residential air-conditioner system. Prototype of 1.0hp Mitsubishi split unit air-conditioner with water-cooled condenser cooling system will be used to measure and calculate the COP. As comparison to system with usage of air-cooled condenser, the COP of system with usage of water-cooled condenser is measured and calculated. As the result, the COP system with water-cooled condenser is equal 4.4 as compared to COP of system with air-cooled condenser is equal to 3.7. COP of the system increased 19 when using water-cooled condenser.
