Designing Efficient Cooling Systems.

Energy Optimization News, July, 2003

New software developed by NIST can help cooling system manufacturers meet Department of Energy goals calling for a 20% increase in energy efficiency of residential air conditioners by 2006. Manufacturing engineers can use the software, called EVAP-COND, to improve evaporators and condensers, two types of heat exchangers that are essential components of every air conditioner. Improved heat exchangers mean increased energy efficiency.

The software simulations depict the performance of evaporators and condensers working with any one of 10 cooling agents, including new generation atmospheric ozone- safe hydrofluorocarbon fluids and "natural refrigerants," such as carbon dioxide or propane. The software's computer graphics package enables engineers to observe and...
