Predictive and diagnostic aspects of a universal thermodynamic model for chillers.

Author(s) : GORDON J. M., NG K. C.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The authors review, further develop, and validate against extensive experimental measurements a simple thermodynamic model that captures the universal aspects of chiller behaviour. The model provides a procedure for predicting chiller performance over a broad range of operating conditions from a small number of selected measurements, as well as a diagnostic tool. The accuracy of the model is illustrated for reciprocating, centrifugal and absorption chillers. Universal aspects of chiller behaviour are further illustrated with less conventional small-scale cooling devices such as thermoacoustic and thermoelectric chillers.
