Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.CFDFluidInterface

Information

This model is used to connect the fluid port with the block that communicates with the CFD program.

This model also implements the pressure balance of the medium, as the FFD implementation uses a constant pressure that is independent of the pressure of the Modelica model. If the parameter massDynamics == Modelica.Fluid.Types.Dynamics.SteadyState, then there is a steady-state mass balance and the pressure of the room is an algebraic variable. Otherwise, the time derivative of the pressure is

dp⁄dt = p_start   ∑ ṁi ⁄ mstart,

where p_start is the initial pressure, ∑ ṁi is the sum of the mass flow rates over all ports, and mstart is the initial mass of the room.

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationExchange Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationExchange

Infrared radiation heat exchange between the room facing surfaces

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationExchange

Information

This model computes the infrared radiative heat transfer between the interior surfaces of a room. Each opaque surface emits radiation according to

Ei = σ   Ai   εi   (Ti)4,

where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, Ai is the surface area, εi is the absorptivity in the infrared spectrum, and Ti is the surface temperature. If the parameter linearizeRadidation is set to true, then the term (Ti)4 is replaced with T03 Ti, where T0 = 20°C is a parameter.

The incoming radiation at surface i is

Gi = -∑j   Fj,i   Jj

where Fj,i is the view factor from surface j to surface i, Jj is the radiosity leaving surface j and the sum is over all surfaces. For opaque surfaces, it follows from the first law that the radiosity Ji is

Ji = -Ei - (1-εi)   Gi.

For windows, the outgoing radiosity is an input into this model because the window model computes this quantity directly.

For each surface i, the heat balance is

0 = Qi + Ji + Gi.

For opaque surfaces, the heat flow rate Qi is set to be equal to the heat flow rate at the heat port. For the glass of the windows, the radiosity outflow at the connector is set to the radiosity Gi that is leaving the surface.

The view factor from surface i to j is approximated as

Fi,j = Aj ⁄ ∑k Ak.

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationGainDistribution Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationGainDistribution

Infrared radiative heat gain distribution between the room facing surfaces

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationGainDistribution

Information

This model computes the distribution of the infrared radiant heat gain to the room surfaces. The infrared radiant heat gain Q is an input to this model. It is distributed to the individual surfaces according to

Qi = Q   Ai   εi ⁄ ∑k Ak   εk.

For opaque surfaces, the heat flow rate Qi is set to be equal to the heat flow rate at the heat port. For the glass of the windows, the heat flow rate Qi is set to the radiosity Ji that will strike the glass or the window shade.

Extends from Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.PartialSurfaceInterfaceRadiative (Partial model that is used for infrared radiation balance).

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.RadiationAdapter Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.RadiationAdapter

Model to connect between signals and heat port for radiative gains of the room

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.RadiationAdapter

Information

This model can be used as a thermal adapter in situations where the temperature and the heat flow rate are computed in separate models. For example, this thermal adapter is used in the room model, which computes the distribution of radiative heat gains (such as due to a radiator) in Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationGainDistribution and computes the radiative temperature in Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.RadiationTemperature. This adapter combines the heat flow rate and the temperatures that are computed in these separate models, and exposes these two quantities at its heat port.

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.RadiationTemperature Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.RadiationTemperature

Radiative temperature of the room

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.RadiationTemperature

Information

This model computes the radiative temperature in the room. For a room with windows but no shade, the radiative temperature is computed as

Trad = ∑i   (Ai   εi   Ti) ⁄ ∑i   (Ai   εi)

where Trad is the radiative temperature of the room, Ai are the surface areas of the room, εi are the infrared emissivities of the surfaces, and Ti are the surface temperatures.

If a the windows have a shade, then the equation is modified to take the actual shaded and non-shaded surface area into account. In this situation, the shaded part of a window has a infrared radiative power of

E = A   ( u   εs   Ts + (1-u)   εg τs   Tgs)

where A is the surface area of the glass, u is the control signal of the shade, εs is the infrared absorptivity of the shade, Ts is the temperature of the shade, εg is the infrared absorptivity of the glass, τs is the infrared transmittance of the shade, and Tgs is the glass temperature behind the shade.

For the unshaded part of the window, the radiative power is

E = A   (1-u)   εg   Tgn

where Tgn is the glass temperature of the non-shaded part of the window.

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.SolarRadiationExchange Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.SolarRadiationExchange

Solar radiation heat exchange between the room facing surfaces

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.SolarRadiationExchange

Information

This model computes the distribution of the solar radiation gain to the room surfaces. Let Nw denote the number of windows, Nf the number of floor elements and Nn the number of non-floor elements such as ceiling, wall and window elements. Input to the model are the diffuse and direct solar radiosities Jidif, i ∈ {1, … , Nw} and Jidir, i ∈ {1, … , Nw} that were transmitted through the window. The total incoming solar radiation is therefore for the diffuse irradiation

Hdif = ∑i=1Nw Jdifi

and for the direct irradiation

Hdir = ∑i=1Nw Jdiri.

It is assumed that the diffuse irradiation is distributed to all surfaces proportionally to the product of surface emissivity plus transmissivity (which generally is zero except for windows) times the area. For the direct irradiation, it is assumed that it first hits the floor where some of it is absorbed, and some of it is diffusely reflected to all other surfaces. Only the first reflection is taken into account and the location of the floor patch relative to the window is neglected.

Hence, the diffuse radiation that is absorbed by each area is

Qidif = Hdif   (εii)   Ai ⁄ ∑j=1N   Aj,

where the sum is over all areas. Hence, this calculation treats the wall that contains the window identical as any other construction, which is a simplification.

Similarly, the direct radiation that is absorbed by each floor patch i ∈ {1, …, Nf}, and may be partially transmitted in the unusual case that the floor contains a window, is

Qidir = Hdir   (εii)   Ai ⁄ ∑j=1Nf   Aj.

The sum of the direct radiation that is reflected by the floor is therefore

Jf = Hdir   ∑i=1Nf (1-εii)   Ai ⁄ ∑j=1Nf   Aj.

This reflected radiosity is then distributed to all non-floor areas i ∈ {1, …, Nn} using

Qidir = Jf   Ai   (εii) ⁄ ∑k=1Nn Ak   (εkk)

The heat flow rate that is absorbed by each surface is

Qi = Qidif + Qidir.

For opaque surfaces, the heat flow rate Qi is set to be equal to the heat flow rate at the heat port. For the glass of the windows, the heat flow rate Qi is set to the radiosity Jouti that will strike the glass or the window shade as diffuse solar radiation.

Main assumptions

The main assumptions or simplifications are that the shaded and unshaded part of the window have the same solar absorbtance. Furthermore, if the room has electrochromic windows, the optical properties are taken from the state 1, which generally is the uncontrolled state. The error should be small as in the controlled state, there is little solar radiation entering the room, and with this simplification, the main error is that the radiation that is reflected in the room and hits the window is larger than it otherwise would be. This simplification allows lumping the solar distribution into a parameter.

The model also assumes that all radiation first hits the floor from which it is diffusely distributed to the other surfaces.

Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.ConstructionNumbers Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.ConstructionNumbers

Data records for construction data

Information

Record that defines the number of constructions that are used in the room model.

This record also declares parameters that contain the number of constructions, such as the number of exterior constructions nConExt. This parameter may take on the value 0. If this parameter were to be used to declare the size of vectors of component models, then there may be vectors with zero components. This can cause problems in Dymola 7.4. Therefore, a parameter is declared in the form

  NConExt = max(1, nConExt)

This parameter is the used by models that extend this model to set the size of the vector of component models.

There are also parameters that can be used to conditionally remove components, such as haveConExt, which is set to

  haveConExt = nConExt > 0;

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Record (Icon for records).
