# CryoSim Calibration Tutorial ## Overview This guide walks through calibrating CryoSim against test data from a real pump campaign. ## Step 1: Load Raw Data ```python from cryosim.data.loader import load_test_data df = load_test_data("path/to/test_campaign.csv", ft140_correction=11.4) print(df.head()) print(f"Duration: {df.index[-1] - df.index[0]}") ``` ## Step 2: Extract Fills ```python from cryosim.data.loader import extract_fills fills = extract_fills(df) print(f"Found {len(fills)} fills") for f in fills: print(f" {f['start']} → {f['end']}: {f['P_start']:.0f} → {f['P_peak']:.0f} bar") ``` ## Step 3: Convert to Calibration Format ```python from cryosim.data.loader import fills_to_calibration_input cal_fills = fills_to_calibration_input(fills, speed_scale=0.664) ``` ## Step 4: Run Calibration ```python import cryosim result = cryosim.calibrate(hardware="old_icv", fills=cal_fills, maxiter=200) print(result) result.save_yaml("my_calibrated_config.yaml") ``` ## Step 5: Validate ```python for f in cal_fills: pred = cryosim.predict(hardware="my_calibrated_config.yaml", Pexit=f['Pexit_barg'], speed=f['speed_f']) error = abs(pred.mdot_kgpm - f['measured_mdot_kgpm']) / f['measured_mdot_kgpm'] * 100 print(f" P={f['Pexit_barg']:.0f}: predicted={pred.mdot_kgpm:.3f}, " f"measured={f['measured_mdot_kgpm']:.3f}, error={error:.1f}%") ``` ## Notes - FT140 readings are ~11.4x too high for LH2 (Coriolis meter density mismatch) - Speed scale factor: LH2=0.664, LN2=5.0 (maps VFD% to model speed fraction) - Example fills are in `cryosim/data_files/examples/example_fills.json` - The flow cliff (~370-390 bar at 65% speed) is the most challenging region to calibrate
