Top down model for the simulation of the dynamic behaviour of cold storage plants.

Summary

A simulation model for dynamic processes in cold storage plants is presented. A concise description of the overall dynamic behaviour is achieved by using a modular structure together with top down modelling. An advantage of the top down model is its limited number of parameters, most of which can be determined from readily available information, eg from data sheets. Using these parameters, the transient behaviour of the most important variables in cold store operation, can be predicted. Such predictions are compared to experimental data taken in the present paper in a medium size cold store. For all studied operating conditions the results for the simulation show favourable agreement with the experimental data.
