Abstract

Tests intended to determine the variation of some parameters, mainly refrigerant mass flow and velocity, on the low side of the A/C system during start up conditions were performed in a '94 Caravan . The tests were designed to capture the rapid changes in conditions at the evaporator outlet during air conditioning system start up. In particular we were interested in finding the range of refrigerant flow rates under transient operation to determine conditions at the plate evaporator that might produce acoustic resonance.
