DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS.

Engineers often construct physical models to enable them to understand the behavior of systems. An alternative approach which is more flexible in its application and is being applied in many industries is to derive a mathematical model. This paper has been written with the objective of describing the basic approach to modeling of refrigeration systems, explaining some of the techniques used and their applications. The references quoted and the appendix should be consulted for a detailed mathematical treatment. It is hoped that the few equations presented will not deter readers without a mathematical background from using the paper to discover what modeling is all about and the usefulness of the technique.
