Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.FlowMachine_y

Information

This example demonstrates and tests the use of a flow machine whose mass flow rate is reduced to zero.

The fans have been configured as steady-state models. This ensures that the actual speed is equal to the input signal.

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.FlowMachine_y_linear

Test model for pump with linear characteristic for pressure vs. flow rate

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.FlowMachine_y_linear

Information

This example demonstrates and tests the use of a flow machine whose speed is reduced to zero. In the top model, the pressure drop across the pump is constant, and in the bottom model, the mass flow rate across the pump is constant. In the top model, a small flow resistance has been added since a pump with zero speed cannot produce a non-zero pressure raise. For this operating region, the pressure drop ensures that the model is non-singular.

The fans have been configured as steady-state models. This ensures that the actual speed is equal to the input signal.

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.ControlledFlowMachine

Information

This example demonstrates the use of the flow model with four different configurations. At steady-state, all flow models have the same mass flow rate and pressure difference. Note that addPowerToMedium=false since otherwise, Dymola computes the enthalpy change of the component as a fraction (k*m_flow+P_internal)/m_flow which leads to an error because of 0/0 at zero flow rate.

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.FlowMachineParallel_y

Test model for two flow machines in parallel

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.FlowMachineParallel_y

Information

This example tests the configuration of two flow machines that are installed in parallel. Both flow machines start with full speed. At t=150 second, the speed of the flow machine on the top is reduced to zero. As its speed is reduced, the mass flow rate changes its direction in such a way that the flow machine at the top has reverse flow.

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.FlowMachineSeries_y

Test model for two flow machines in series

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Examples.FlowMachineSeries_y

Information

This example tests the configuration of two flow machines that are installed in series. Both flow machines start with full speed. At t=150 seconds, the speed of the flow machine on the left is reduced to zero. As its speed is reduced, the mass flow rate is reduced. Note that even at zero input, the mass flow rate is non-zero, but the pressure drop of the pump floMac1.dp is positive, which means that this pump has a flow resistance. However, flowMac2.dp is always negative, as this pump has a constant control input of 1.

Test model for pump that illustrates the pump curves

Information

This example demonstrates how the pump curves changes for different (constant) input signal y. If y ≥ delta = 0.05, the pump curves are polynomials. For y < delta = 0.05, the pump curves convert to linear functions to avoid a singularity at the origin.
