Heat pump designing and optimization tool

Heat pump systems can be found in high number of applications. These systems utilization include food preservation, heat removal from industrial processes such as chemical production, and numerous other special applications in the construction and manufacturing industries. Heat pump systems typically consist of many different components; each component may be produced by a different manufacturer. The operational data provided by the different manufacturers for each component is used by system designers to specify installation and operational procedures of the system. Often times, the optimum control of an individual piece of equipment results in sub-optimal system performance due to unforeseen interactions between the different system components. It is important to identify and monitor key parameters of the system, such as power consumption and refrigeration effect, in order to optimize the performance.
