HVAC system

Expertise on air conditioning :

SHERPA Engineering is specialised in modelling, design, control, simulation and prototyping of air conditioning systems.
 
PhiSimHVAC extends Simulink® with tools for modeling and simulating HVAC systems.
Based on a components library, this tool enables building a system model with its control system, and validates performance and safety requirements.
PhiSimHVAC can be used in the fundamental processes for engineering a HVAC system :
  • Enables subsystems network design
  • Helps for design, tuning and analysis of the control system
  • Enables the development of optimized calibrations and tests verification
  • Tests controller on a virtual bench test (Hardware In the Loop)
 
Key Features
  • Enables HVAC System modeling and simulation using standard components
  • Provides comprehensive block libraries for building detailed HVAC subsystems
  • Fast network design by using modularity and phi-graph concepts
  • Customizable library of common fluids
  • Model Based Control Design
 
Building HVAC Systems
PhiSimHVAC provides tools for building HVAC system models and its environment.
You can simulate the HVAC system behavior and estimate the system response to the driver and passengers demands.
The subsystems are :
  • The refrigerant loop subsystem
  • The air circuit subsystem (recycling, mixing, distribution)
  • The cabin subsystem
  • Model-Based Design for control system
The PhiSimHVAC Block Library
It provides a representative library of hydraulic, thermo-fluid blocks and physical components :
  • Refrigerant loop subsystem : Compressor, condenser, evaporator, thermostatic valve, variable-speed fans (GMV)…
  • Wet air circuit subsystem : blower, control valve
  • Cabin subsystem : Thermal capacity, conductive, convective and radiative exchanges…
