Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.Validation
Collection of validation models
Information
This package contains validation models for the classes in Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.
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.Actuators.Dampers.Validation.PressureIndependent
Test model for the pressure independent damper model
Information
This model validates Buildings.Fluid.Actuators.Dampers.PressureIndependent by comparing it with
-
an exponential damper model which opening is the one computed by the
pressure independent model, see
damExp, -
an exponential damper model which opening is computed by a PI controller
tracking the same discharge mass flow rate, see
damExpPI.
The simulation consists in exposing these three models to
- a first increase in the pressure drop at the damper boundaries, from negative to positive values, with a zero input control signal,
- a consecutive increase of input control signal, from zero to one, with a constant pressure drop at the damper boundaries,
- an eventual decrease in the pressure drop, from positive to negative values, with an input control signal equal to one.
One can notice a small variation of the computed damper opening in the last transient around flow reversal. This is because the expression of the flow coefficient as a function of the mass flow rate and pressure drop is ill-defined near zero flow rate and the damper opening value results from the regularization process.
