The principle of the refrigeration function is that the evaporation temperature of the refrigerant floats above the dew point temperature of the air, reducing the sensible heat of the air. Since the dehumidification has been done before, the latent heat is eliminated, and the energy consumption of the cooling to eliminate the sensible heat is less at this time. Compared with the single-evaporator air conditioner that cannot reasonably distribute the cooling capacity, the independent temperature and humidity control effect of the present invention is better, and the energy efficiency is higher. The temperature and humidity are independently controlled to avoid wasting cooling capacity, the indoor climate changes mildly, and the comfort is better.
