An absorption chiller model for HVACSIM+

An absorption chiller model is developed for HVACSIM+(J). The model simulates dynamic characteristics of the chiller, such as dynamic trends of chiller temperatures and COP. The total system simulation including the chiller and the other HVAC system enables to evaluate energy consumption for the HVAC systems and how much the system save energy. Furthermore, the simulations show the effect of the control strategies. In the paper, the chiller model is described, and the simulation results which contain independent chiller system and a total HVAC system. The results show the interference of chiller controller and room control system.
