Analysis of losses in the mixing section of the central air conditioner using the entropy-statistical method

The article presents an entropy-statistical analysis of losses in the mixing section of a central air conditioner. The temperature and humidity of the outdoor and recirculating air were measured. The methodology for determining losses using the entropy-statistical method is presented in the work. The calculation of losses in the mixing section of the central air conditioner due to the mixing of air flows depending on the flow rate of the supply and recirculation air as well as due to hydraulic losses. A comparative analysis of the results is carried out and the distribution diagrams of the component losses are presented. Proposed conclusions regarding the way to reduce losses.
