PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR USING THERMAL IMAGING WHEN CAPACITOR DEGRADES

Main Article Content
Abstract
The compressor plays a crucial role in air conditioning systems. Its primary function is to compress the refrigerant, increasing its pressure and temperature, which directly affects the electricity consumption of the air conditioner. Typically, split-type air conditioners with constant speed use capacitor-run motors. If the capacitor’s value degrades from its original state, the compressor in the air conditioner will not operate efficiently, leading to energy wastage. This research aims to analyze the performance of the compressor using thermal imaging. In the final stage, the compressor efficiency of the air conditioning system is evaluated. The experimental results indicate that the acceptable efficiency of the compressor requires the capacitor value to decrease by no more than 30 microfarads from the default value. Analyzing compressor efficiency using thermal imaging can be applied for air conditioner maintenance, ensuring optimal performance and preventing equipment deterioration.
