‘ART’ A Computer Code To Assist The Design Of Refrigeration and A/C Equipment

摘要: In this paper a new computer code: ART (Advanced Refrigeration Technologies), recently developed at the Universidad Politecnica de Valencia is presented. The main features of program are fast calculation and accurate evaluation refrigeration unit performance. describes characteristics global model submodels components considered in ART, as well concerned numerical strategies, showing capabilities code to assist design equipment. takes into account all system: compressor, HEs, piping accessories. For different with levels accuracy included order allow user concentrate optimization desired component. able calculate complete system, including detailed modeling less than 20s. Once minimally adjusted, typical predicted results show good agreement experimental maximum deviations around 5%.
