Abstract:

This report summarizes the initial production test of the 36,000 Btu hr, single-package air conditioner. The purpose of the test was to determine conformance of the air conditioner to required performance characteristics. The results show that a fractured refrigerant line weld, a broken filter retaining spot weld, and a broken compressor motor-winding terminal wire resulted from laboratory vibrations. Also, heavy rusting of the stators and armatures of all motor contactors resulted from exposure to humidity. It is concluded that the air conditioner met the test objectives with the exceptions noted.
