Performance of a free standing air-cooled condensing unit in a confined space in hot and humid climates / Amar Sidik

The purpose of the research is to analyze the performance of free standing air-cooled condensing unit in a confined space under hot and humid environment. The performance is measured based on the on coil temperature, which determines the capability of air cooled condenser to operate under limited ai...
