AirConditioning - a Modelica Library for Dynamic Simulation of AC Systems
Hubertus Tummescheit, Jonas Eborn, Katrin Pr · 2005
The AirConditioning library is a new, commercial Modelica library for the steady-state and transient simulation of air conditioning systems using modern, compact heat exchangers that use microchannel tubes instead of the bulkier fin-and-tube type heat exchangers. Currently it is mostly used by automotive OEMs and suppliers that need high-accuracy system level models to ensure both passenger comfort and energy efficiency of systems developed under the pressure of reduced design cycle times. The AirConditioning library contains basic correlations for heat and mass transfer and pressure drop, components for control volumes and flow resistances and advanced readyto-use models for all relevant components of automotive air conditioning systems like condenser, evaporator, compressor, expansion devices and accumulator.
