Research on air conditioner outdoor unit position setting in high-rise residences

This paper presents the current codes’ provisions on heat dissipation conditions of air conditioner outdoor unit position, and analyses their adaptability in the high-rise residence design. Taking the air conditioner outdoor unit position in the groove of a high-rise residence as the research project, the unit operation conditions of air conditioner outdoor units with different types under the groove depth of 1.0 to 4.0 m are simulated by using numerical simulation software. Taking the average inlet air temperature of the unit as the judgment standard, the outdoor unit positions that meet the normal operation requirement of the air conditioner outdoor unit are obtained, and the conclusion is summarized into a chart form for the designer’s reference.
