Delay element, approximated by a first order differential equation

Buildings.Fluid.Delays.DelayFirstOrder

Information


This model approximates a transport delay using a first order differential equations.

The model consists of a mixing volume with two ports. The size of the mixing volume is such that at the nominal mass flow rate m_flow_nominal, the time constant of the volume is equal to the parameter tau.

The heat flux connector is optional, it need not be connnected.


Extends from Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume (Mixing volume with inlet and outlet ports (flow reversal is allowed)).
