model for recirculating flap

Information

This model describes an idealized model for a recirculation flap. Depending on the flap position the outdoor air is mixed with the exhaust air.

The flap position can be set by the input parameter flapPosition where 0 means the flap is fully closed and 1 means fully open.

The mixture of the streams is calculated using the Richmann's mixing rule.

TOdaOut=(ṁOdaIn · cp,OdaIn · TOdaIn+ ṁEtaRecirc · cp,EtaIn · TEtaIn) ⁄ (ṁOdaIn · cp,OdaIn + ṁEtaRecirc · cp,EtaIn)

XOdaOut=(ṁOdaIn · XOdaIn+ ṁEtaRecirc · XEtaIn) ⁄ (ṁOdaIn + ṁEtaRecirc)

The recirculating mass flow rate of the exhaust air is calculated using a parameter splitFactor. The splitFactor is calculated by the flapPosition depending on the calculation mode. By default the relation between these is linear.

EtaRecirc=ṁEtaIn · splitFactor

Revisions

  • May 2019, by Ervin Lejlic:
    First implementation.
  • May 2019, by Martin Kremer:
    Changing variable names. Adding possibility for other relation between flap position and volume flow through flap than linear.
