- Abstract
- The CYCLE-D package simulates the vapor compression refrigeration cycles that use pure refrigerants or mixtures of refrigerants. The model can simulate a basic refrigeration cycle as well as a cycle with a liquid-line/suction-line heat exchanger. CYCLE-D operates in a user-friendly Windows environment that facilitates evaluating the performance of selected working fluids at different operating conditions. Calculations are based on refrigerant properties as contained in the NIST Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of Refrigerants and Refrigerant Mixtures Database: Version 6.0. CONTACTS: If you have comments or questions about the database, the Standard Reference Data Program would like to hear from you. Also, if you should have any problems with the diskettes or installation, please let us know by contacting: Joan Sauerwein, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Standard Reference Data Program, 100 Bureau Drive, Stop 2310 Gaithersburg, MD 20899-2310.
