CoolTools is a collection of simulation models for refrigeration systems and each of them has a specific purpose e.g. cycle analysis, sizing of main components, energy analysis and optimization. CoolTools is still under development, but it aims to become a replacement for the old CoolPack software supporting new refrigerant and cycle models. The following simulation purposes are covered: - Cycle analysis (process design) – comparison of one stage direct expansion cycle and one stage flooded cycle. - System sizing – calculation of component sizes from general criteria. - System simulation – calculating operating conditions in a system with known components. - Component calculations – calculation of components efficiencies and outlet conditions. - Evaluation of operation – evaluation of system efficiency. - Process investigation – e.g. moist air calculations. CoolTools is modern adaptation of CoolPack, a collection of simulation models that was developed in the 90’s the Department of Mechanical Engineering (MEK), Section of Thermal Energy (TES) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).
