Buildings.Fluid.Chillers.Examples.AbsorptionIndirectSteamVaryingLoad
Absorption chiller with varying cooling load
Information
This model validates Buildings.Fluid.Chillers.AbsorptionIndirectSteam. for the case with varying cooling load.
The model is constructed in a way that the temperatures which determine the performance of the absorption chiller are kept constant in order to monitor the effects of the part load behavior on the ratio of the provided cooling to the required steam.

Buildings.Fluid.Chillers.Examples.Carnot_TEva
Test model for chiller based on Carnot efficiency and evaporator outlet temperature control signal
Information
Example that simulates a chiller whose efficiency is scaled based on the
Carnot cycle.
The chiller takes as an input the evaporator leaving water temperature.
The condenser mass flow rate is computed in such a way that it has
a temperature difference equal to dTEva_nominal
.
