Real-Time Simulation of Vapour Compression Cycles

Abstract

This paper shows a tool chain of a set of ready-touse tools and libraries that enables the dynamic real-time simulation of vapour compression cycles. A new approach for calculation of fluid properties and numeric efficient component models are applied. As an Hardware in the Loop application a vapour compression cycle is exported to Scale -RT [5] using SimulationX [11] and connected to a hardware PI-Controller in order to realize a superheating control.
