The concept of digital twins for heat pump and refrigeration systems

Digital twins are a virtual representation of a physical heat pump or refrigeration system in the form of numerical models, which are constantly adapting to the current operating conditions in order to exploit the technical potential most optimally.

Digital twin-based services

Digital Twins constitute the basis for a variety of services such as advanced system monitoring, optimization of system operation, and fault detection and diagnosis.

Project partners

The project consortium consists of eight partners from Germany and Denmark and includes industrial partners, an RTO institute, and three departments from two universities.

Modelling activities

The modelling activities in the project comprise numerical models with different levels of detail. The models are based on a combination of measurement data, component data, and physical relations.
