Buildings.Experimental.DHC.Loads.Controls.MixingValveControl
Mixing valve controller
Information
This model implements a generic controller for a three-way mixing valve. Three operating modes are supported:
- Heating: the controller tracks a minimum supply temperature.
- Cooling: the controller tracks a maximum supply temperature.
-
Change-over: the controller tracks either a minimum or a maximum
supplied temperature depending on the actual value of the integer input
modChaOve(1 for heating, 2 for cooling). The model instantiates only one PI block to limit the number of state variables in large models. Therefore the PI gain is independent from the change-over mode: the reverse action is modeled by taking the opposite value of the PI block output. Eventually the integral part is reset whenever the change-over mode is switched.
See Buildings.Experimental.DHC.Loads.Controls.Validation.MixingValveControl for a simulation with change-over.
Extends from Modelica.Blocks.Icons.Block (Basic graphical layout of input/output block).
