Validation model for single speed DX coil with PLR=1

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.Examples.SingleSpeedValidation

Information

This model validates the model Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.SingleSpeed.

The difference in results of TOut and XOut at the beginning and end of the simulation is because the mass flow rate is zero. For zero mass flow rate, EnergyPlus assumes steady state condition, whereas the Modelica model is a dynamic model and hence the properties at the outlet are equal to the state variables of the model.

The EnergyPlus results were generated using the example file DXCoilSystemAuto.idf from EnergyPlus 7.1, with a nominal cooling capacity of 10500 Watts instead of using autosizing. This allowed to have a part load ratio of one.

Note that EnergyPlus mass fractions (X) are in mass of water vapor per mass of dry air, whereas Modelica uses the total mass as a reference. Hence, the EnergyPlus values are corrected by dividing them by 1+X.

Validation model for single speed DX coil with PLR=1

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.Examples.SingleSpeedValidationPLR

Information

This model validates the model Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.SingleSpeed.

The difference in results of TOut and XOut at the beginning and end of the simulation is because the mass flow rate is zero. For zero mass flow rate, EnergyPlus assumes steady state condition, whereas the Modelica model is a dynamic model and hence the properties at the outlet are equal to the state variables of the model.

The EnergyPlus results were generated using the example file DXCoilSystemAuto.idf from EnergyPlus 7.1.

The EnergyPlus results were generated using the example file DXCoilSystemAuto.idf from EnergyPlus 7.1. On the summer design day, the PLR is below 1. A similar effect has been achieved in this example by turning on the coil only for the period during which it run in EnergyPlus. This results in on-off cycle and fluctuating results. To compare the results, the Modelica outputs are averaged over 3600 seconds, and the EnergyPlus outputs are used with a zero order delay to avoid the time shift in results.

Note that EnergyPlus mass fractions (X) are in mass of water vapor per mass of dry air, whereas Modelica uses the total mass as a reference. Hence, the EnergyPlus values are corrected by dividing them by 1+X.

Space cooling with DX coils

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.DXCoils.Examples.SpaceCooling

Information

This model illustrates the use of the DX coil models with single speed compressor, multi-stage compressor, and variable speed compressor. The three systems all have the same simple model for a room, and the same HVAC components, except for the coil. The top system has a DX coil with single speed compressor and on/off control with dead-band. The middle system has a DX coil with two stages, each representing a different compressor speed. The bottom system has a DX coil with variable speed control for the compressor.

All coils are controlled based on the respective room air temperature. The plot below shows how room air temperatures and humidity levels are controlled with the respective coils. The single speed coil has the highest room air humidity level because during its off-time, water that accumulated on the coil evaporates into the air stream. This effect is smaller for the coil with two compressor stages and for the coil with variable compressor speed, as both of these coils switch off less frequent.
