Development and use of simulation tools for analysis and energy optimization of cooling systems with CO2 as coolant
The project resulted in five calculation programs and three technical reports downloadable from www.ipu.dk and www.elforsk.dk. The PackCalc II program calculates annual energy consumption, construction and operating costs and CO2 emissions from 11 systems using CO2 as refrigerant. Two other programs can dimension refrigeration system pumps and calculate compressor efficiency. The analyses carried out by the project show that in most of Europe, it would be favourable to use CO2 as refrigerant. The tool development continues in Elforsk project 342-051, focusing on the interaction between PackCalc and BSim. (Energy 10)
