Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Validation.EvaporatorCondenser
Test model for the evaporator or condenser model
Information
Model that demonstrates the use of the Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.EvaporatorCondenser model.
The fluid flow rate is increased from ṁ = 0.01 kg/s to ṁ = 0.10 kg/s over 100 seconds. As a result, the heat exchanger effectiveness and the fluid temperature difference in the heat exchanger decrease.

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Validation.PrescribedOutlet
Model that demonstrates the ideal heater/cooler model for a prescribed outlet temperature, configured as steady-state
Information
Model that demonstrates the use of an ideal heater and an ideal cooler.
The heater model has a capacity of Q_flow_max = 1.0e4 Watts and
the cooler model has a capacitiy of Q_flow_min = -1000 Watts.
Hence, both only track their set point of the outlet temperature during certain times.
There is also a heater and cooler with unlimited capacity.
At t=1000 second, the flow reverses its direction.
Each flow leg has the same mass flow rate. There are three mass flow sources as using one source only would yield a nonlinear system of equations that needs to be solved to determine the mass flow rate distribution.

Model that demonstrates use of a finite volume model of a heat exchanger with condensation
Information
This model is used to test the initialization of the coil model. There are three instances of the coil model, each having different settings for the initial conditions. Each of the coil uses for the medium Buildings.Media.Air.
Extends from Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.BaseClasses.WetCoilDiscretized (Model that demonstrates use of a finite volume model of a heat exchanger with condensation), Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).
