In this study, the energy saving effect and dehumidification enhancement of the variable speed air conditioner (VSAC) have been analysed theoretically and experimentally. The results indicated that the VSAC in subtropical areas could provide annual energy savings of 20%. Even more important, the 3 RT‐unit VSAC successfully lowered its apparatus sensible heat ratio (ASHR) from 0.80 to 0.60, which made it superb for applications in hot and humid areas. The VSAC has a vast application potential in these climates.
