Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachinePolynomial

Fan or pump with head and efficiency declared by a non-dimensional polynomial

Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachinePolynomial

Information

This is a model of a flow machine (pump or fan).

The normalized pressure difference is computed using a function of the normalized mass flow rate. The function is a polynomial for which a user needs to supply the coefficients and two values that determine for what flow rate the polynomial is linearly extended.

Note: This model is here for compatibility with older versions of this library. For new models, use instead Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_y.

Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_dp

Fan or pump with ideally controlled head dp as input signal

Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.Movers.FlowMachine_dp

Information

This model describes a fan or pump with prescribed head. The input connector provides the difference between outlet minus inlet pressure. The efficiency of the device is computed based on the efficiency curves that take as an argument the actual volume flow rate divided by the maximum possible volume flow rate.

If filteredSpeed=true, then the parameter dp_nominal is used to normalize the filter. This is used to improve the numerics of the transient response. The actual pressure raise of the mover at steady-state is independent of the value of dp_nominal. It is recommended to set dp_nominal to approximately the pressure raise that the fan has during full speed.
