Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation

Collection of validation models

Information

This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Fluid.Movers.

Note that most validation models contain simple input data which may not be realistic, but for which the correct output can be obtained through an analytic solution. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against these solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data and used for continuous validation whenever models in the library change.

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.ControlledFlowMachine Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.ControlledFlowMachine

Fans with different control signals as input

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.ControlledFlowMachine

Information

This example demonstrates the use of the flow model with four different configurations. At steady-state, all flow models have the same mass flow rate and pressure difference. Note that addPowerToMedium=false since otherwise, Dymola computes the enthalpy change of the component as a fraction (k*m_flow+P_internal)/m_flow which leads to an error because of 0/0 at zero flow rate.

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.Power Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.Power

Power calculation comparison among three mover types

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.Power

Information

This example compares the power consumed by pumps that take three different control signals. Each pump has identical mass flow rate and pressure rise.

Note that for the instances Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_dp and Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_m_flow, we had to assign the efficiencies (otherwise the default constant efficiency of 0.7 would have been used). We also had to set use_powerCharacteristic=true. Otherwise, the power consumption would have been computed using similarity laws, but using the mass flow rate as opposed to the speed, because speed is not known in these two models. This would yield an error at operating points in which the speed is different from the nominal speed N_nominal because similarity laws are valid for speed and not for mass flow rate. To see the error, change the assignment

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.PumpCurveConstruction Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.PumpCurveConstruction

Validation model that tests that the pump curve is properly extrapolated to V=0 and dp=0

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.PumpCurveConstruction

Information

This example tests whether the construction of the pump curve is correct implemented for the cases where no data point is given at zero head, zero mass flow rate, or both.

Each pump is identical, but different points on the pump curve are specified. However, the pump curves are linear and hence, because the pump curves are linearly extrapolated, all four pumps need to give the same flow rate.

Implementation

The pump curves are such that the protected parameter curve of the pumps have different values. This then tests the correct extrapolation.

Pump with linear characteristic for pressure vs. flow rate

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.Validation.SpeedControlled_y_linear

Information

This example demonstrates and tests the use of a flow machine whose speed is reduced to zero. In the top model, the pressure drop across the pump is constant, and in the bottom model, the mass flow rate across the pump is constant. In the top model, a small flow resistance has been added since a pump with zero speed cannot produce a non-zero pressure raise. For this operating region, the pressure drop ensures that the model is non-singular.

The fans have been configured as steady-state models. This ensures that the actual speed is equal to the input signal.
