3.7.4 Vapor Cycle Library
The Vapor Cycle Library is targeted at thermodynamic systems that include a phase change
of the working fluid, such as vapor compression cycles and organic rankine cycles. It is
suitable for a wide range of applications in among others automotive, industrial equipment,
and process industry. Applications include mobile and residential air conditioning, industrial
refrigeration as well as heat pump systems.
The library contains all components necessary to build a vapor-compression thermodynamic
cycle with the possibility to select from a wide range of refrigerants and other potential
working fluids. Heat exchangers form the interface to other fluid domains, such as air flow
and liquid coolants. Those are then covered in more detail by other libraries, such as the
Liquid Cooling Library.
