Reference manual, volume 4

In this Volume 4 we present a series of developments that have been made on the one hand to allow completion of the Thermoptim core in order to address much more complex modeling than those presented in the other reference manuals, and on the other hand to automatically derive productive structures, namely in order to obtain precise exergy balances.

Modeling developments allow one to: 
 

• drive Thermoptim calculations taking control on the automatic recalculation engine
• carry out technological design and conduct studies of off-design system.
 
 
To explore this issue, we advise you to refer to the section dealing with methodological guides on this topic and study instructions for programming a refrigerator driver available on the portal Thermoptim-UNIT.

 

Two pedagogical breadcrumbs dealing with single-phase  heat exchangers and volumetric compressors will provide concrete examples and detailed implementation of these developments.
