System Design Simulator software from Design Services Network significantly reduces design time and the need for repetitive, frequent laboratory testing by predicting the steady-state heating and cooling performance of vapor compression systems in a wide range of system configurations and operational variables, says the company. The software's component selection and simulation enables engineers to detect potential problems and take corrective action early in the design process, the company says.
