EVAP-COND

EVAP-COND is a software package that contains NIST's simulation models for a finned-tube evaporator and condenser. EVAP-COND's help menu provides information about the program's capabilities and how to use it. The instructions include preparation of input data, execution of the program, and examination of simulation results.

Version 3.0 introduces the option for optimization of refrigerant circuitry based on computational intelligence methods. Regarding input data files, Version 3.0 is fully compatible with Version 2.3. The new graphical user interface contains a few convenience features, including an upgraded ability to modify the refrigerant circuitry.

• Tube-by-tube or tube sectional simulation
• One-dimensional, non-uniform air distribution
• Simulation of refrigerant distribution
• Refrigerant circuitry optimization
• Condenser model capable of simulating above the critical point
• REFPROP8 refrigerant properties
• 11 refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures: R22, R32, R134a, R290, R404A, R407C, R410A, R507A, R600a, R717, and R744
