Embraco has upgraded its Product Selector Software (PSS) a multilingual comprehensive online tool which provides technical information about Embraco’s compressors and condensing units.
Available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, the PSS allows users to choose the best solution according to their local needs, offering all the necessary information for selecting the compressor or condensing unit that best suits their needs.
R&D and product strategy senior director for commercial appliances at Nidec Global, André Rosa, said the new version is available now.
“The most relevant change in the new version is the customized performance and simulated temperature conditions tool. It is a functionality within each product page that allows the user to obtain performance information based on the temperature condition of the equipment’s installation place,” he said.
When the user enters temperature information (condensation, evaporation, liquid/subcooling, and return/superheat), the user finds specific values for cooling capacity, efficiency, power consumption, and mass flow (gas flow rate).
The tool estimates the performance of the refrigeration equipment under the exact operating conditions of the compressor and therefore guides the engineer's choice as to which model is most suitable for the equipment.
“Furthermore, the engineer gets the most precise information about the exact point of operation within the system, making the simulation much more faithful to reality. In addition to this precision, we can add gain in time by reducing repetitive tests,”Rosa said.
The main advantage of this new digital tool within PSS is that the engineers do not need to develop their own simulation for the compressor.
“With the customization functionality, the simulation considers physical concepts (such as thermodynamic properties of fluids and compressor efficiency in each process) in real-time,” he said.
The PSS is used by product engineers when developing refrigeration equipment as well as by contractors and refrigeration technicians.
The PSS is part of a package of digital tools and online channels available on Embraco’s web site.
