Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.BaseClasses.Heater

Base class for example model for the heater and cooler

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.BaseClasses.Heater

Information

This partial model is used to construct the models Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.AirHeater_T and Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.AirHeater_u and the similar models Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.WaterHeater_T and Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.WaterHeater_u. It consists of a volume with heat loss to the ambient, a fan, a set point for the temperature of the volume and a PI controller.

The instance bou is required to set a reference pressure for system models in which the fluid is modelled as an incompressible fluid, and it also is required to account for a variation of density of the fluid.

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.BaseClasses.WetCoilDiscretized

Model that demonstrates use of a finite volume model of a heat exchanger with condensation

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.BaseClasses.WetCoilDiscretized

Information

This is the base model that 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.
