Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_dp Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_dp

Fan or pump with ideally controlled head dp as input signal

Buildings.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_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 and pressure curves that are defined in record per, which is of type Buildings.Fluid.Movers.SpeedControlled_Nrpm.

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.

See the User's Guide for more information.
