Abstract

This work is concerned with an experimental investigation for the performance of a split-air- conditioner when cooling its condenser using its evaporative condensate. The evaporative condensate was collected in a water basin located above the condenser. The collected condensate flows past the condenser through a number of holes in basin base. The experimental tests were investigated during the day time in Suez city, EGYPT, under different relative humidity. The condenser is an air forced one. Its design is L-shaped; the pipe diameter of the condenser is 7.0 mm, material: (inner groove copper tube - aluminum fins). It has twin rows with sixteen fins per inch. The outer dimensions of the condenser are 0.85 m length, 0.15 m width and 0.7 m height. The experimental results showed that the power consumption can be  decreased by about (12.1: 20.9 %) and the coefficient of performance can be increased by about (16.24: 29.50%) according to ambient conditions
