Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.BaseClasses.Characteristics.Validation
Collection of models that validate the cooling tower models
Information
This package contains models that validate the cooling tower power consumption. The examples plot various outputs, which have been verified against analytical solutions. These model outputs are stored as reference data to allow continuous validation whenever models in the library change.
Extends from Modelica.Icons.ExamplesPackage (Icon for packages containing runnable examples).
