Are Flooded Evaporators modeled already?

Is there a block ready to be used to model a shell and tube flooded evaporator using Ammonia as a refrigerant?

Hi Pablo,
To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a block designed specifically for this type of heat exchanger, with coolant/water flowing through tubes partially submerged in a pool of refrigerant.
You may still get good enough results using this system-level heat exchanger from Simscape Fluids. You'll have to try.
Or, you may write your own equations in Simscape language. But I'd try the system-level heat exchanger first.
