An example of the use of modular CHP components combined as a power unit with interfaces to a controller and to the heating circuit.
It allows an impression of the versatile and complex application possibilities of the model by the changeability of many variables of individual components and the detailed investigation capability.
For a better understanding the controller modulates the fuel consumption of the CHP unit. The effects to the thermal output can be visualized by looking at T_Ret and T_Sup.
The return temperature as well as the volume flow in the heating circuit are considered constant in this example.
Caution:
If the prime coolant cirlce of the power unit is using a gasoline medium instead of a liquid fluid, you may need to adjust (raise) the nominal mass flow and pressure drop of the cooling to heating heat exchanger to run the model, because of a background calculation for the nominal flow.
