Implementation of a Modelica Library for Simulation of Refrigeration Systems

Torge Pfafferott, Gerhard Schmitz · 2003

The physical modelling and transient simulation of refrigeration systems can be useful within the specification, development, integration and optimisation. Therefore, a model library for vapour compression cycles has been implemented. The library is based on the free Modelica library ThermoFluid and contains basic correlations for heat and mass transfer and pressure drop, partial components for control volumes and flow resistances and advanced ready-to-use models for all relevant components of refrigeration systems like pipes, heat exchangers, compressor, expansion devices and accumulator.
