We employed a 2 channel single-photon detection system with high detection efficiency and low jitter to characterize the joint spectral distribution (JSD) of
A method employing the simultaneous solution of two linear fits is used to determine the rated cooling capacity and seasonal energy efficiency ratio, SEER, of
Sections of wood decks (1.2 m by 1.2 m) were constructed and attached to a re-entrant corner assembly. The deck/re-entrant corner assembly was then exposed to
In this experiment-aided simulation study, we achieved the performance improvement of a Roof Top Unit (RTU) by optimizing an evaporator's refrigerant circuitry
