Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.BaseClasses.Functions.speedShift

Interpolates value between two speeds

Information

This function interpolates data for intermediate compressor speeds using cubic hermite splines with linear extrapolation. To avoid linear extrapolation below minimum standard speed, the origin is added to the modified arrays.

Inputs

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Realspe Speed of compressor
RealspeSet[:] Array of standard compressor speeds
Realu[:] Array to be interpolated

Outputs

TypeNameDescription
RealyInterpolated value

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.BaseClasses.Functions.warnIfPerformanceOutOfBounds

Function that checks the performance and writes a warning if it is outside of 0.9 to 1.1

Information

This function checks if the numeric argument is outside of the interval 0.9 to 1.1. If this is the case, the function writes a warning.

Inputs

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Realx Argument to be checked
Stringmsg String to be added to warning message
StringcurveName Name of the curve that was tested

Outputs

TypeNameDescription
IntegerretVal0 if x is inside bounds, -1 if it is below bounds, or +1 if it is above bounds

Modelica definition
