Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Equipment.Validation

Collection of models that validate the Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled package

Information

This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Equipment.

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.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Equipment.Validation.CoolingCoilHumidifyingHeating_ClosedLoop Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Equipment.Validation.CoolingCoilHumidifyingHeating_ClosedLoop

Model of a air handling unit that tests temperature and humidity control

Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Equipment.Validation.CoolingCoilHumidifyingHeating_ClosedLoop

Information

This model demonstrates the use of Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Equipment.CoolingCoilHumidifyingHeating. The valve on the water-side and the electric heater on the air-side is regulated to track a setpoint temperature for the air outlet based on the step changes in the inlet temperature on the waterside. The humidifier on the air-side is manipulated to control the humidity of the air outlet.

To avoid simultenous cooling (by opening the valve on the water side) and heating (by turning on the heater), a built-in controller is used to turn the reheater on and off. The detailed control logic can be found in Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.ChillerCooled.Controls.Reheat. A setting for this example is shown as following:
