This is a base model for modular expansion valves that are used, for example, in close-loop systems like heat pumps or chillers.
Three definitions need to be added by an extending class using this component:
SimpleExpansionValve.
ModularController.
expansionValves[i] with
ports_b[i].
The latter provides the possibility to add further components (e.g. sensors or pipes) located at the expansion valves' outlets.
This base model mainly consists of two sub-models and, therefore, please checkout these models for further information of underlying modeling approaches:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SimpleExpansionValve | Model of simple expansion valve |
| FlowCoefficient | Model that describes the calculation of the flow coefficient |
| ModularController | Model of the modular controller |
