Optimization of vapour compression systems via simulation.

Author(s) : RICHARDSON D. H., JIANG H., LINDSAY D., et al.

Summary

VapCyc is a vapour compression refrigeration simulation tool which features charge estimates, component inter-changeability and is specifically geared towards optimization of system level variables using gradient based and genetic optimization routines. System level variables currently accounted for are: system refrigerant charge, COP, weight, capacity, cost and selection of individual component models. The early stages of VapCyc are introduced in order to demonstrate its usefulness. To this end, the paper presents several simple component models, and the resulting combinations of these components.
