Thermosys is a software package for simulating and analyzing the behavior of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Find out more about Thermosys — the latest in vapor compression cycle dynamics simulation technology.

Documentation for Thermosys is available.  References to other research efforts regarding advanced control of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems are also available.
  Control design is simpler with the automatic calculation of linear state-space models for each component.

Customized components are easily modeled using simple graphical user interfaces to input specified parameters associated with each component model.


Research Group Profile

Thermosys is a joint development venture between the Thermo-Fluids Control Laboratory at Texas A&M University and the Alleyne Research Group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  The combined resources of the Energy Systems Laboratory at TAMU and the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Center at UIUC provide extensive expertise and experimental facilities.

Thermosys research is focused on the dynamic simulation and control of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems.  Details on availability of the software tools can be found in the Downloads Section.  In addition to providing state-of-the-art tools for dynamic simulation and control design, Thermosys researchers conduct original research in the areas of air-conditioning control.
