A 2 factorial design was performed to analyze the performance of a mini-split air conditioning system under several psychrometric air conditions at the evaporator inlet, similar to Tropical Caribbean region conditions. In addition, a search for new energy-saving opportunities was performed. The results showed that interactions between the temperature of the air inlet, the humidity of the air inlet, and the fan speed level are significant in the mini-split energy performance under Caribbean climate conditions. Hence, working on an oriented energy savings control strategy is necessary. Therefore, this study recommends developing a fan speed control scheme, generating energy savings of around 10% in the air conditioning unit.
采用二因素析因设计来分析类似于热带加勒比地区条件下，小型分体式空调系统在蒸发器入口处多种空气状态下的性能。此外，还探索了新的节能机会。结果表明，在加勒比气候条件下，进气温度、进气湿度和风扇速度水平之间的相互作用对小型分体式空调的能源性能有显著影响。因此，制定有针对性的节能控制策略很有必要。所以，本研究建议制定一种风扇速度控制方案，使空调机组节能约10%。
