Abstract
Abstract
Dalian Advanced Light Source (DALS) test facility program requires a 370 W cryoplant to meet the cooling requirements of four testbenches. The utilization of dynamic simulation holds significant potential for diverse applications such as process design, control logic optimization, and virtual commissioning. These applications are helpful in facilitating the subsequent stages of commissioning and operation. This paper describes the establishment of a model for the DALS test facility cryoplant based on the Ecosimpro software. The model includes the main components of the cryoplant, incorporating most control loops and sequential control strategies. The simulation encompasses three operation modes, namely liquefaction mode, refrigeration mode and fast cooldown mode. The simulation results match the Temperature-Entropy (T-S) diagram from the manufacturer well. This model will be used in the upcoming commissioning of the cryoplant for resolving challenges that may arise in future operation.
