ROAD TO CHILLVENTA 2018: TRANSCRITICAL GAS COOLER
In today’s article, we analyze TRANSCRITICAL GAS COOLER, the unique tool for the design and rating of Co2 Gas Coolers. The software allows to quickly perform the transcritical calculation of the Co2 gas cooler, obtaining its capacity from just a few input data.
The user can edit the most common geometries, add new customized geometries with an easy to use wizard, and edit tubes and fins materials and thickness. The automatic and manual calculation of manifolds is also an included feature.
The finned pack heat exchanger using Co2 is divided into 100 pieces, and the software calculates it piece by piece, step by step. This means the thermodynamic properties are not an average, but vary for each piece.
We have also added a button with the icon of a sight, which serves precisely to automatically optimize the flow rate of the CO2 in order to “center” the capacity required by the user!
After the calculation, by clicking on “Print”, the software will provide a detailed output results printout, with a temperature trend chart and a table summarizing the trends of the thermodynamic properties along with the heat exchanger performance. All the output printouts, can be easily exported in .PDF format, with just a click.

For all the information, and to see TGC at work, come and visit our stand, in Chillventa, from 16 to 18 October 2018, in Nuremberg. We are in HALL 7 STAND 121.
