Aims
The product is an easy to use simscape simulator with simple GUI or HMI allowing to define:
- the different configurations of the physical system
- the different operating modes: start, stop, load variation
- the different defaults or dysfunctions: defaults on sensor, actuator, components
- the steady state or dynamic scenario to run in open or closed loop
- A quick start with the data of just a nominal point
- A possibility to do an automatic scaling of the model
R: this Matlab/Simulink/Simscape open model and simulator can be easily modified or customized by the
user to define its specific simulator.
Operating principles
The objective of refrigerant loop is to produce cooling thermal power that is transferred to air or water
with a good performance whatever the environmental conditions and to protect the components.
A refrigerant loop has 4 main intensive states: the high and low pressure, the condenser sub cooling and
the evaporator overheat.
The high pressure balance depends on the interaction between the compressor mass flow rate capacity
and the capacity of condenser which reduces the volumetric mass flowrate.
The low pressure balance depends on the interaction between the evaporator which generates
superheated refrigerant mass flow rate and the compressor capacity that removes the mass flowrate.
The condenser sub-cooling protects the expansion valve against chocking by expansion of vapor. It
depends on the refrigerant mass in the system and mainly in the condenser. This sub-cooling is set up
during the loop filling. It varies not too much during the operating point and depends on the condenser
energy balance. A bottle allows to maintain the cycle during refrigerant life leakages

The evaporator superheat protects the compressor against liquid bubbles expansion. It depends on the
energy balance in the evaporator. It is generally controlled by thermostatic valve or maintained by
accumulator.
As the COP (coefficient of performance) of the loop is function of the thermodynamic cycle and the
intensive variables, it is necessary to control these 4 main intensive states.
The dynamic control allows to master the 4 intensive variables (pressure, temperature) and the extensive
variables (mass flow rate) which are linked by the component characteristics.
Therefore, it is necessary to have 5 main actuators:
- the speed of the compressor that acts on the extensive mass flow rate or the compressor capacity
if the speed is constrained,
- the expansion valve that sets up the evaporator superheat
- the refrigerant mass that maintains a sub-cooling at the valve input.
- The condenser air mass flow rate that acts upon the high pressure
- The evaporator air mass flow rate that acts upon the low pressure.
As these actuators act in some limits, it is obviously important to have a consistent component static sizing
to obtain the required cooling power in critical conditions.
Simulator usages
- Parametric study and computation of parametric table for steady state points: definition of
mapping of inputs or parameters
- Dynamic simulation in nominal/degradation/failures conditions
- Easy loop sizing, mainly for condenser and evaporator.
- Validation tests: MIL/SIL/HIL
- Comparison simulated data with tests data (real tests, reference)
- Energy optimization
- Pre calibration of controlled laws
The simulator functions:
- Pre-processor to define the scenario, the parameters and the initial states
- Component sizing functionalities
- Auto sizing scaling: the intensive variables are unchanged but all the extensive variables are scaled.
- Post-processor to visualize the results:
on line plot of thermodynamic diagram
This model can be integrated in higher level model, for example in Air loop model.

Refrigerant cold loop physical description
Elements of the cold loop are:
− Volumetric compressor
fixed capacity: the mass flow rate is function only of the speed of the compressor.
variable capacity; in this case the capacity can be internally manipulated (control of low pressure) or
externally (control of the outlet evaporator air temperature). The efficiency constitutive laws depend
on the compressor capacity.
− Condenser:
-with integrated or separated bottle.
-Refrigerant side: 3 zones (overheating, condensation, sub-cooling)
-Air side: wet or dry air
R: the void rate is not taken into account
− Evaporator :
The functioning of evaporator depends much on the air humidity. Therefore, we consider dry or wet
regime to assess the right cooling thermal power. There are several zones:
- 2 zones for refrigerant: evaporation and overheating
-2 zones air side: wet or dry air.
− Expansion valve:
Several options are existing:
Thermostatic valve: the opening area depends of output evaporator temperature and
corrections of Text.
Controlled valve: the section is controlled to have a defined overheat law at evaporator
output to protect the compressor.
