Bitzer Integrates AI Agent into Design Software and Expands Catalog by 1,100 Items

Compressor manufacturer Bitzer (Sindelfingen) has released version 7.2.0 of its design software, now integrating the AI agent Hermann. Simultaneously, the calculation catalog has been expanded by more than 1,100 additional items across 12 series.

Bitzer's design software has been available free of charge for over 35 years and is designed for the selection and calculation of compressors and other components in refrigeration, air-conditioning, and heat-pump systems. Users receive performance data, technical specifications, application limit diagrams, dimensional drawings, and documentation. Both individual compressors and combined units can be calculated. The program is available as a web application and a Windows application.

SmarTube Module and K-Series

The SmarTube module now includes tube condensers and evaporators. According to Bitzer, this section contains more than 1,100 model catalog designations.

A new feature is the calculation of K-series water-cooled condensing units as a single block: the condenser and compressor are no longer calculated separately. The catalog lists 178 units in six configurations, including Ecoline Pro, seawater-resistant, and two-stage variants. According to the manufacturer, all combinations are available.

AI Agent Hermann

The Hermann agent is embedded directly in the software. Users can ask it questions about Bitzer products, refrigerants, and application areas; the agent directs them to the relevant technical information and documentation. In addition, Hermann accesses the design module and independently performs the selection of suitable Bitzer equipment.

Adaptive Interface

Since version 7, the manufacturer has redesigned the software and optimized it for various devices. The responsive layout automatically adjusts the display for desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
