Re: [TRNSYS-users] CO2 compressor

[David BRADLEY via TRNSYS-users <trnsys-users@lists.onebuilding.org>]

Ravindra,

 I am not sure which air compressor component you refer to. However, it probably makes the assumption that the air properties are constant over the temperature and pressure range in which the compressor operates. If the CO2 properties are constant over the operation range for the compressor in your simulation then I imagine it would be reasonable to change the properties. If the CO2 properties are not constant, however, then the model's assumptions are not appropriate and you would not get good results from using it.

kind regards,

 David

I want to use a compressor with CO2 as the working fluid. Can i simply change the properties in the Air Compressor component so that it will act as CO2 compressor or else should we edit the background code to CO2
