Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.DXCooled.Controls.Validation

Collection of validation models

Information

This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.DXCooled.Controls.

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.DXCooled.Controls.Validation.AirsideEconomizer

Example that demonstrate the use of model Buildings.Applications.DataCenters.DXCooled.Controls.AirsideEconomizer

Information

This example demonstrates how the outside air damper position changes under different cooling mode. During the first 120s, the system is in free cooling mode, and the damper position is controlled to maintain the mixed air temperature at its setpoint. In the second 120s, the system is in partial mechanical cooling mode and the outside air damper is fully open. As a result, the mixed air temperature is equal to the outdoor air temperature. In the last 120 seconds, the system is in fully mechnical cooling mode, which means the outside air damper is fully closed, and the mixed air temperature equals to the return air temperature.
