Example model for direct cooling energy transfer station with in-building pumping and controlled district return temperature

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Cooling.Examples.Direct

Information

This model provides an example for the direct cooling energy transfer station model, which contains in-building pumping and controls the district return temperature. The building's primary variable speed pump is modulated depending on the total cooling load and prescribed deltaT. Variation in the district supply temperature is modeled as a sinusoidal signal to test the response of system.

Example model for indirect cooling energy transfer station with a closed chilled water loop on the building side

Buildings.Experimental.DHC.EnergyTransferStations.Cooling.Examples.Indirect

Information

This model provides an example for the indirect cooling energy transfer station model. The cooling load ramps up from zero and is modulated according to the QCoo table specification. The mass flow rate of chilled water in the building side is varied based on the building load/demand.
