SorpLib - Adsorption Energy Systems Library

SorpLib - Adsorption Energy Systems Library (short SorpLib) is a Modelica model library for simulating adsorption energy systems, such as adsorption chillers, adsorption heat pumps, adsorption thermal storage systems, or desiccant systems. The library is being developed at RWTH Aachen University, Institute of Technical Thermodynamics, Sorption Systems Engineering group in Aachen, Germany.

This repository is used to further develop the library and make it available under the BSD 3-Clause License.

We would like to build up an active SorpLib community. Therefore, we would appreciate a short notice to sorplib@ltt.rwth-aachen.de, when you download and use the SorpLib.

License

The model library SorpLib is released by RWTH Aachen University, Institute of Technical Thermodynamics under the BSD 3-Clause License.

Overview

The library provides basic models necessary to model adsorption energy systems. Based on these models, all types of adsorption energy systems can be modeled. In the applications package, a few examples demonstrate possible adsorption-based systems.

Dependencies

This library was mainly developed using Dymola. Additionally, it was checked that most models also work with OpenModelica.

Regarding non-adsorption specific models, the library depends on the Modelica Standard Library. The comercial libraries TIL Suite and TIL Media Suite are not used within this branch:

TIL Suite is suitable for the stationary and transient simulation of freely configurable thermodynamic systems. Thanks to the substance property library, TILMedia – a component of the TIL Suite – system simulations can be performed extremely quickly and accurately.

TIL and TILMedia are commercial libraries provided by TLK-Thermo GmbH. At the moment, it is necessary to have these libraries to use the SorpLib. For the future, a light version of TIL and TIL-Media may be freely available.

Version

The current version 0.2.0 is a pre-release.
