CARNOT Toolbox
CARNOT is a toolbox extension for MATLAB SIMULINK. It is a tool for calculating and simulating the thermal components of HVAC enclosures with regard to conventional and regenerative elements. The CARNOT Toolbox is a Library with typical components of these systems. It is organised in block sets, like the SIMULINK Library itself. The handling of the blocks is exactly the same as in SIMULINK, so that users who are familiar with SIMULINK can directly use the new block sets in the same way.
