Maciej,

  some of these may be quite obvious but here are some things to check.

- make sure that you modified the Studio proforma to allow for the new 
nref code.

- make sure that you have used the same case the CoolProp expects; I do 
not know for a fact but it looks to me as though CoolProp is case sensitive.

- make sure that CO2 properties can be returned based on the 
combinations of properties that you are sending (T and x known, T and p 
known, etc.)

- you'll need to recompile the TRNDll after making the source code 
change CoolProp_Fluid_Properties()

kind regards,

  David
