Automatic Expansion Valve

Automatic Expansion Valve - Models a simple automatic expansion valve using a map. Can be used to simulate discharge or evaporator pressure regulators.

Box Model

Box Model - A virtual refrigerated space with various thermal loads; for example a chilled freight container.

Compressor

Compressor - A device that compresses low pressure and temperature refrigerant to a high pressure and temperature based on user defined volumetric and adiabatic efficiency maps.

Compressor Shell

Compressor Shell - A device that compresses low pressure and temperature refrigerant to a high pressure and temperature based on user defined volumetric and adiabatic efficiency maps. This model additionally calculates the temperature of the compressor shell

Condenser

Condenser - A heat exchanger model that transfers heat from the refrigerant to the ambient air causing the refrigerant to condense from a vapor to a liquid.

Condenser with Humidity

Condenser with Humidity - Simulates a condenser using a moving-boundary, lumped parameter approach.

Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) Map

Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) Map - Electronically controlled throttling valve that creates an abrupt reduction in pressure and temperature of the refrigerant. (Table lookup maps between input variables and mass flow rates.)

Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) Poly

Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) Poly - Electronically controlled throttling valve that creates an abrupt reduction in pressure and temperature of the refrigerant. (Polynomial fits between input variables and mass flow rates.)

Evaporator

Evaporator - A heat exchanger model that transfers heat from the refrigerated space to the refrigerant causing the refrigerant to evaporate into a vapor.

Evaporator with Humidity

Evaporator with Humidity - Simulates an evaporator using a moving-boundary, lumped parameter approach.

Gas Cooler

Gas Cooler - A heat exchanger model that transfers heat from the refrigerant to the ambient air without changes in state.

Hydraulic Resistance

Hydraulic Resistance - Model that simulates hydrodynamic pressure drop due to internal flow resistance.

Internal Heat Exchanger

Internal Heat Exchanger - A block that models a refrigerant-to-refrigerant counterflow internal heat exchanger.

Multipurpose Tank

Multipurpose Tank - A block that models a variety of roles (basic tank, accumulator, receiver)

P-h Live Plotter

P-h Live Plotter - A block that allows live feedback of the active phase cycle on a P-h plot.

P-h Multicycle Live Plotter

P-h Multicycle Live Plotter - A block that allows live feedback of the active phase cycle on a multicycle P-h plot.

Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV)

Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) - A throttling valve that regulates the degree of superheat of the refrigerant at the exit of the evaporator.

Two Fluid Plate Condenser

Two Fluid Plate Condenser - This block simulates a plate condenser system. Unlike the standard evaporator, it does not assume Air is the second fluid, and allows both fluids to be user-defined.

Two Fluid Plate Evaporator

Two Fluid Plate Evaporator - This block simulates a plate evaporator system. Unlike the standard evaporator, it does not assume Air is the second fluid, and allows both fluids to be user-defined.

Two-Fluid Plate Gas Cooler

Two-Fluid Plate Gas Cooler - This block simulates a plate gas cooler system. Unlike the standard gas cooler, it does not assume Air is the second fluid, and allows both fluids to be user-defined.
