Hydronics Library
In liquid circuits, modern heat distribution networks or similar applications the ratio of mechanical effort and thermal performance of the heat exchanger is very important. The XRG Hydronics Library is a modern and flexible tool and you can easily optimize your applications.
The Hydronics Library allows the handling of more than 100 sub-components in one system. The objective of the example is the cooling of two different air flows in two heat exchangers (see figure). Two control valves distribute the coolant mass flow according to the demand. The output variables are temperatures, pressures and all flow variables like heat flow or electric power.
- The Hydronics Library allows detailed modeling of thermo-hydraulic systems
including heat exchangers for humid air and liquids. All components like pipes,
bends, pumps and valves can be insulated, non-insulated or adiabatic. Joints,
orifices, sudden expansions, contractions and expansion vessels complete the
range of model components.
The library is made of several packages:
- Pumps
- Valves
- Heat Exchangers (moist air-liquid, liquid-liquid)
- Pipes, bends, elbows and tees (insulated, non-insulated, adiabatic)
- Expansion vessels and stratified storage tanks
- Junctions
- Orifices
- Medium models for liquids
- Cooling and heating applications in automotive, aircraft and shipbuilding industries as well as for building services engineering.
- Modern heat distribution networks.
- Detailed analysis of the ratio of mechanical effort to thermal performance of heat exchangers.
