    Studying the Effects of Reheat on R134A Cycle Performance using Industrial Air-Conditioning Training Equipment

    By Kevin R. Anderson, C. McNamara

    Abstract: This paper presents an apparatus-based experiment for teaching air conditioning and refrigeration in undergraduate engineering hands-on based learning curricula. Results for an R134A based refrigeration and air conditioning performance are shown in this paper illustrating the effects of re-heat on the COP of the cycle as well as the use on a LabView interface to extract test data. The primary use of this equipment is to show various “what-if” scenarios. …
