CYCLE_Dsimulates vapor compression refrigeration cycles that use single-compound refrigerants or refrigerant blends. The model can simulate a basic subcritical or transcritical refrigeration cycle, both with or without a liquid-line/suction-line heat exchanger. In addition, the model can simulate a subcritical two-stage economizer cycle, a subcritical three-stage economizer cycle, and a subcritical two-stage compression cycle with intercooling.

CYCLE_Dincludes 62 single-compound refrigerants and 66 predefined blends. Single-compound fluids can be combined to form blends of up to five components. Computationally, the program is fully compatible with the NIST Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties Program - REFPROP, Version 9.0.

The basic subcritical or transcritical system simulated by CYCLE_D consists of a compressor, a discharge line, a condenser for the subcritical cycle (a gas cooler for the transcritical cycle), an expansion device, an evaporator, a compressor suction line, and an optional liquid-line/suction-line heat exchanger. The other subcritical cycles may contain a second compressor, and one or two economizers or an intercooler (but do not include the liquid-line/suction-line heat exchanger).

The user of the program has to specify the refrigerant and provide input data for the above hardware components, except the expansion device, which is modeled as being isenthalpic. The user can also specify the power requirements of the indoor fan, outdoor fan, and control unit of the system.
