The map across its envelope

AHRI 540 / EN 12900 ten-coefficient polynomials in evaporating and condensing temperature, rated at 33.8 K superheat and 0.0 K subcooling; the solver corrects them to the operating superheat and subcooling. Envelope: evaporating -40 to 12 °C, condensing 10 to 60 °C (a rectangle). The mass-flow coefficient set is published too, and the solver checks it against the capacity set.

Points on a 10 K grid inside the published envelope; the builder solves any point in it, and warns past it.

Open this compressor in the app — the compressor-map tab, with its rating at any condition, its envelope, capacity and power lines and curves plotted, and the refrigerant's pressure–temperature chart a click away; or open the builder and pick it from the catalog picker — the solver runs it with the catalog's own figures, at your design point or across a year of weather.

How the model reads against this maker's data

BITZER ECOLINE recip and ORBIT/GSD scroll maps, the maker's own EN 12900 coefficients9 maps — three ECOLINE semi-hermetic recips (4FDC-5, 4CDC-9, 4NDC-20) and six ORBIT/GSD scrolls (GSD60120/60182/80235/80295/80385/80485VA)every map reproduces its recorded reading at 5 / 50 °C exactly (13.1 / 23.9 / 51.9 kW on the recips, 26.7 to 104.3 kW on the scrolls; COP 2.73 to 3.32), because nothing between the record and the seed touches a coefficient. Inside the envelope each map now carries, capacity and power stay positive, capacity rises with evaporating temperature and falls with condensing at every one of 169 grid points, and the COP stays under 80 % of Carnot. The maker states two ranges, which is a box, and on eight maps the cubic behaves everywhere in it; the GSD80235VA goes negative in the cold-and-hot corner (−9.3 kW at −23.8 / 65 °C, where its siblings read +8.0 and +13.7), so that corner is cut at the map's own zero-capacity contour and the cut is recorded. Not validated: no BITZER selection was reproduced end to end — the maps are the maker's coefficients, not a duty this project computed against the maker's software
