Summary

A detailed numerical simulation of the thermal and fluid-dynamic behaviour of a single stage vapour compression refrigerating unit has been carried out. Different subroutines modelize the physical flow phenomena produced inside all the different elements that make up the compression cycle. The whole modelization is based on a main program that calls the subroutines mentioned above sequentially until convergence is reached. Analysis is possible in transient or steady state of a wide range of situations, fluids, geometries and boundary conditions. The software allows the knowledge of the flow variables distribution, which are evaluated at each point of the discretized domain.
