In this study, the calorimeter was used to experimentally investigate the heating characteristics of the variable A/C system according to changes in loading time and outdoor dry bulb temperature. The heating capacity, COP and compressor discharge temperature were measured while changing the loading time of the compressor. To develop the correlation for compressor discharge temperature, loading time, indoor dry bulb temperature and outdoor dry bulb temperatures were considered as operating variables. As the outdoor temperature and loading time increased, the heating capacity and COP increased. However, the change in COP showed different trends depending on the outdoor temperature. The evaporation temperature according to the loading time is a good estimate of the outdoor temperature. However, as the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor rooms decreases and the loading time increases, the condensation pressure increases significantly, so the condensation temperature increases. The maximum deviation between the correlation and the experimental value for compressor discharge temperature was within approximately 2℃.
