I want to design air-conditioning Systems (Such as: Refrigerator, air-con or any other system

Hi,
You can use one of the following software : thermoptim, ABSIM, Refrigeration Utilitie, REFPROP6 and coolpack.
Best regards.
The best software is one that you are familiar with but I recommend TRACE700
If you are aiming for dynamic weather input (change with time) and monitoring of the cooling/heating effect, I would suggest Trnsys-Trnbuild interconnection.
Depends on your project delimitations. Five years ago I worked on a modernization project where I utilized a combination of TRACE700, CHVAC7.0 and AIRMaster+... some links for you;

Do you want to design at component or system level?
At system level, IES VE, DesignBuilder and Revit (I haven't tried Revit).
At component level, you need CFD. I highly recommend Siemens STAR-CCM+.
Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Cloud eTools Available at www.RefrigLab.com
www.RefrigLab.com provides Cloud eTools for refrigeration and air-conditioning components sizing and units tuning for technicians, engineers, and new product developers. The latest release is the Sizing series with 10 eTools.
Natural, HFO and conventional (R290, R600a, R717, R1234yf, R1234ze, R410a, R32, R407c, R134a, R404a, etc.), 41 refrigerants in total, are included for choice with each eTool.
Smart phone or laptop computer can be used to access the website, www.refriglab.com, anywhere with internet accessible.
All of the eTools running for computing and data processing are operated and completed on the Cloud Platform so would not consume the eTool user's mobile data or computer's memory.
1) [UnitqS] for sizing each component's capacity
2) [CompS] for compressor sizing
3) [CapS] for capillary (CAP) tube sizing
4) [SLHX] for suction line heat exchanger sizing
5) [CondS] for condenser air coil sizing
6) [EvapS] for evaporator air coil sizing
7) [CondEvapCS_CapAcc] for sizing condenser and evaporator air coils combined with capillary tube and accumulator
8) [CondEvapCS_SlhxAcc] for sizing condenser and evaporator air coils combined with SLHX and accumulator
9) [CircS] for estimating condenser or evaporator coil circuiting number/passes
10)[Acc3pS] for sizing suction line accumulator using 3 parameters
For CFD analysis, i can recommend Airpack. Whereas Ansys fluent or even star CD can be used alternatively. but if one person want to do thermodynamic analysis changing weather condition, using sustainable energy and etc, tnrsys is the best choice. For load calculation in ventilated zones, Carrier and Revit are useful and robust.
As Amir Mohammad mentioned you should decide on the CFD side or thermodynamic side of your problem. I just wanted to add EnergyPlus, and OpenStudio (free software provided by NREL) to the thermodynamic side. They are really powerful in thermodynamic calculations.
@ Kherris ... can you share coolpack software suitable version for 64 bit system?
