Predict the energy consumption of solar cooling systems. Optimize for efficiency and comfort. Easy, modular design. Compare solar cooling with conventional cooling systems.
System variants can be easily compared
Choose between compression cooling machines, solar thermal cooling, free cooling, and combine freely with PV
For heat rejection, choose between wet or dry cooling towers, swimming-pool or ground-source loop
Optimize for energy efficiency and comfort
Include renewable energy sources: geothermal, solar thermal, photovoltaics
Take full advantage of modularity and maximum flexibility
Analyze the heating/cooling system in extensive detail
Polysun can also be used to simulate large systems and industrial applications
Predict performance and energy consumption for each individual component through physics-based simulation
Choose actual components available on the market from the Polysun database
Optimize controller strategy
Look at your system as a whole
Is the ground-source loop suitable for free cooling?
Can solar thermal collectors be used for heating and cooling?
Is it beneficial to have hot and cold water storage tanks?
Are tube collectors or flat plate collectors more convenient for solar cooling?
Optimize over-all energy consumption and costs
Use the simulation results for system optimization, communication and documentation
