VapCyc®

Advanced system simulation tool for HVAC&R applications.

VapCyc® is an advanced vapor compression cycle design and simulation tool capable of shortening product development cycles and reducing product development costs. By offering accurate simulation data, engineers can quickly and reliably assess multiple system configurations before building and testing prototypes in the lab. The tool is component based, and can be populated with your product data to fully characterize the system under evaluation.

Specifically, VapCyc® enables:
  • Quick evaluation of system components on the fly
  • Modeling using alternative refrigerants, including evaluation of CO2 cycles
  • Use of CoilDesigner® files to accurately model coil behavior
