Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The standard design conditions established by AHRI for air conditioning system.

Answer to Problem 1RQ

The standard design conditions established by AHRI for air conditioning system are 95 °F outside temperature, 80°F inside temperature and 50% humidity.

Explanation of Solution

All the air conditioning equipments are designed to operate on its rated capacity and efficiency. The ratings are standardized by Air conditioning, heating and refrigeration institute (AHRI).

Air conditioning, heating and refrigeration institute established the standard design conditions of 95 °F outside temperature, 80°F inside temperature and 50% air humidity.

Conclusion:

Thus, standard design conditions established by AHRI for air conditioning system are 95 °F outside temperature, 80°F inside temperature and 50% humidity.
