Promoting the use of smaller diameter tube in room air conditioner is beneficial to reduce copper consumption and refrigerant charge, but may cause reduction of air conditioner performance, so a design method is needed. This paper presents a simulation-based design method for air conditioner with smaller diameter tube. The new method combines heat exchanger simulator and knowledge-based evolution method optimizer for designing air conditioner heat exchanger with smaller diameter tube. The simulation-based design method is illustrated in detail by an air conditioner of replacing 7 mm tube indoor unit heat exchanger and 9.52 mm tube outdoor unit heat exchanger with 5 mm tube. Case study shows that the cost of the designed air conditioner with 5 mm copper tube is 17.3% lower than that of the original one while the performance deviation between these two air conditioners is less than 0.7%.
