Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.Examples.FixedApproachDryBulb Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.Examples.FixedApproachDryBulb

Test model for cooling tower with fixed approach temperature using the dry-bulb temperature

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.Examples.FixedApproachDryBulb

Information

This example illustrates the use of the cooling tower model Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.FixedApproach, using the outdoor dry-bulb temperature as the potential for heat transfer. Heat is injected into the volume vol. An on/off controller switches the cooling loop water pump on or off based on the temperature of this volume. The cooling tower outlet temperature has a fixed approach temperature to the outdoor dry-bulb temperature.

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.Examples.YorkCalc Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.Examples.YorkCalc

Test model for cooling tower using the York performance correlation

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.Examples.YorkCalc

Information

This example illustrates the use of the cooling tower model Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.YorkCalc. Heat is injected into the volume vol. An on/off controller switches the cooling loop water pump on or off based on the temperature of this volume. The cooling tower outlet temperature is controlled to track a fixed temperature.
