Component Library
The Component Library is a collection of Functions, Procedures, and Subprograms that provide high level models of common components in energy systems. This library is only operational in the Professional license. Clicking on the Component Library button in the Function Information dialog will bring up the library index as shown.
The Component library, available with a Professional license, provides advanced modelling capabilities for:
Combustors
Compressors
Condensers and Evaporators
Duct Systems
Fans
Flow Controls
Heat Exchangers
Heat and Mass Exchangers
Heat Pipes
Nozzles and Diffusers
Pumps
Turbines
It is necessary to load the Component library before it can be used. Starting with version 11.586, an option is provided in the Auto Load Libaries tab of the Preferences dialog to automatically load the Component library when EES is started. By default, this library is not automatically loaded. Loading the library will slow the start up of EES noticably. If you chose to not automatically load the Component Library at startup, you can manually load it by placing a $Load Component Library directive at the top of the Equations window. If the library is already loaded, this directive is ignored.

Online help is provided for each model by clicking the Info button in the Function Information dialog. Each model description provides a summary of its purpose, references, inputs, outputs, and an example. Click the index button to show a picture list of all of the components. Clicking on the picture links to the help information.
