Unilab HEAT PUMPS simulation software! New Features!

Here are some new features for the HEAT PUMP software, one of the success at Chillventa. The software is an Air to Water Heat Pump focused simulation tool, a reduced-and evolved-version of our existing SHARK software, specific for Heat Pumps manufacturers. We presented it early in this article and on our Linkedin Page . We remind the software will officially release early December 2022, and you can preorder it by contacting sales@unilab.eu !

Let’s see what we introduced!

Filter compressors according to the exact Total capacity you want to achieve!

After choosing whether a heat pump you want to design is small (within 15kw) or large (over 15kw), the software automatically filters out all compressors that give a certain total capacity at a certain capacity reference point, (e.g. Evaporating T 15°C, Condensing T 65°C). Now you can further filter the compressor based on the exact total capacity you want. Do you want a 6kw heat pump? The software filters all compressors that give 6kW total capacity!

Inverter Compressors!
User can now simulate indicating if the compressor is on or off, and changing the compressor staging!

NEW INCREDIBLY FLEXIBLE Excel table calculation!
We have added a new and evolved capacity TABLE CALCULATION! User defines the data range to calculate, and the program calculates all the combinations of outside air temperatures and water thermal differences. By selecting the bullet points on the right of the screen you can include in the table the data you want, for maximum flexibility. This means you build the table you want, customizing it with the data you need, according to your needs!!

Soon we will allow introduction of fix data, such as name of the unit, cost, dimensions and so on! Stay tuned.

Also, by clicking on one of the points in the Excel table, the software will show the full calculation corresponding to that point, populating the data right in the column.

Energy calculation for heat pumps!

 Select the thermal profile of a City, the profiles are all accessible on the left and when you load them they are pre-saved.

In the Control section, the user adds various stages by indicating, for example, that in stage A a compressor is on or off. Then, he indicates the staging of the compressor from a minimum to a maximum, and the software will display the partialization of the unit accordingly. This means you can create all the staging logic for the unit!

After that, the customer defines a requested load, uploads and Excel file with the thermal profile of a city (made of ambient temperature + annual hours when that temperature occurs, we have also introduced a menu that holds all saved cities once loaded), and launches the calculation. And here is the result!
