The map across its envelope

AHRI 540 / EN 12900 ten-coefficient polynomials in evaporating and condensing temperature, rated at 41.6 K superheat and 0.0 K subcooling; the solver corrects them to the operating superheat and subcooling. Envelope: the manufacturer's 5-sided polygon. 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 the builder and pick this listing 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

Compressor maps converted from the vendor's own rating database4 776 mapsevery basis median within 3.2 % of the nomenclature; the vendor's polynomial substituted exactly, never refitted

From the validation page; every row is held by a test.

Listed from published data; a listing's figures are the manufacturer's, the model that runs them is ours. Solver results never depend on who has claimed what.
