Abstract:
The CYCLE_D package simulates the vapor compression
refrigeration cycles that use pure refrigerants or
mixtures of refrigerants. The model can simulate a basic
refrigeration cycle as well as a cycle with a
liquidline/suction-line heat exchanger. CYCLE_D operates
in a user-friendly Windows environment that facilitates
evaluating the performance of selected working fluids at
different operating conditions. Calculations are based
on refrigerant properties as represented in the NIST
Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties
- REFPROP, Version 7.0.
