Abstract
A method of computer-based simulation of a cooling system includes receiving configuration data for a heat exchanger of the cooling system, customizing the configuration data for the heat exchanger; simulating cooling system performance by processing the customized configuration data through a model of the cooling system, and generating simulated cooling system performance data, based on the simulating, for evaluating operation of the cooling system.
