CYCAL™ is Concepts NREC’s proprietary 1D thermodynamic cycle calculation tool. This system-level product initiates the component design workflow by calculating the critical fluid property information required by downstream 1D and 3D Concepts NREC design tools such as COMPAL® and AxCent®.
This webinar will demonstrate the first stages of the design process for an HVAC system and its compressor using CYCAL™. You will see how to lay out components, requirements, then calculate a compressor design point. From there we will generate a preliminary design in COMPAL® before returning to CYCAL™ to add leakage flows to the cycle model and calculate cycle performance away from the compressor design point.
