Information

Aggregation of the four main safety controls of a refrigerant machine (heat pump or chiller).

The order is based on the relevance to a real system. Antifreeze control and mininmum flow rate control are put last because of the relevance for the simulation. If the medium temperature falls below or rises above the critical values, the simulation will fail.

All used functions are optional. See the used models for more information on each safety function:
