Study Supports Importance of AC Equipment Sizing

COCOA, Fla.­A major study from the Florida Solar

Energy Council found that single-stage cooling units provide poor

humidification performance when operated at less than half of their full

load with the supply air fan running continuously. It also found that

having two stages of cooling capacity reduces the degradation of

dehumidification performance at part load. In addition, it confirmed that

operating a system in the “AUTO” fan mode, with the supply air fan

cycling on and off with the compressor, is the best strategy for

improving the system’s dehumidification performance.
