Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation

Collection of validation models

Information

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

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.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation.NumberOfBeams

Information

This model validates the scaling of the heat tranfer and pressure drop for nBeams > 1.

It uses two instances of Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.CoolingAndHeating, one with nBeams = 1 and one with nBeams = 10.

Validation model for the dynamic response for one and multiple beams

Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation.NumberOfBeamsDynamics

Information

This model validates whether the transient response is indeed independent of the number of beams. The model is similar to Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ActiveBeams.Validation.NumberOfBeams, except that it is configured with a dynamic balance and non-default initial conditions.

Extends from NumberOfBeams.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
IntegernBeams2Number of beams
