            Abstract : 
In this paper we present a program tool that was developed for the simulation of temperatures inside the cooling appliance. The simulator is used to check the performance of the appliance at different settings of control parameters. These simulations replace the part of the measurements, which are time consuming due to the slow thermal processes, but are needed in the appliance development process. The simulator was designed in Microsoft Excel. The accuracy validation of the simulation shows the reliability of the developed simulator.
