physiologically thermal comfort condition is a limit of temperature and humidity. ,in which thermal control mechanism of human body is in its least activity . thermal comfort conditions not only have impact on sizes of heating and cooling equipment ,but also affects the thickness of insulation, and .energy, consumption of buildings. it is necessary to define thermal comfort condition for differ...

In this paper, the transient model of a water-cooled centrifugal chiller is developed in Modelica with Dymola and the TLK/IfT Library (TIL). The centrifugal compressor is modeled in detail based on the turbomachinery theory. The chiller capacity control is achieved by the combination of variable inlet guide vane (VIGV) and variable speed drive (VSD). The shell-and-tube heat exchangers are discr...
