Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses

Package with base classes for Buildings.Fluid.Sources

Information

This package contains base classes that are used to construct the models in Buildings.Fluid.Sources.

Extends from Modelica.Icons.BasesPackage (Icon for packages containing base classes).

Package Content

NameDescription
Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.Outside Outside Boundary that takes weather data, and optionally trace substances, as an input


Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.Outside Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.Outside

Boundary that takes weather data, and optionally trace substances, as an input

Buildings.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.Outside

Information

This is the base class for models that describes boundary conditions for pressure, enthalpy, and species concentration that can be obtained from weather data, and that may be modified based on the wind pressure.

If the parameter use_C_in is false (default option), the C parameter is used as the trace substance for flow that leaves the component, and the C_in input connector is disabled; if use_C_in is true, then the C parameter is ignored, and the value provided by the input connector is used instead.

Note that boundary temperature, mass fractions and trace substances have only an effect if the mass flow is from the boundary into the port. If mass is flowing from the port into the boundary, the boundary definitions, with exception of boundary pressure, do not have an effect.

Extends from Modelica.Fluid.Sources.BaseClasses.PartialSource (Partial component source with one fluid connector).
