Buildings.Examples.ChillerPlant.BaseClasses.SimplifiedRoom

Information

This is a simplified room model for a data center. There is no heat exchange between the room and ambient environment through the building envelope since it is negligible compared to the heat released by the servers.

Parameters

Type	Name	Default	Description
replaceable package Medium		Modelica.Media.Interfaces.Pa...	Medium model
Length	rooLen		Length of the room [m]
Length	rooWid		Width of the room [m]
Height	rooHei		Height of the room [m]
Power	QRoo_flow		Heat generation of the computer room [W]
MassFlowRate	m_flow_nominal		Nominal mass flow rate [kg/s]

Connectors

Type	Name	Description
replaceable package Medium		Medium model
VesselFluidPorts_b	airPorts[nPorts]	Fluid inlets and outlets

Buildings.Examples.ChillerPlant.BaseClasses.WeatherData

Information

This is a modified model of the weather data reader Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3. It outputs the wet bulb temperature in addition to the other data.

Extends from Buildings.BoundaryConditions.WeatherData.ReaderTMY3 (Reader for TMY3 weather data).
