modelPressureDropRadiator
Calculates the pressure drop in a radiator according to manufacturer data
Extends from AixLib.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortTransport (Partial element transporting fluid between two ports without storage of mass or energy).
Information
Overview
Calculates the pressure drop in a radiator according to manufacturer data
Concept
The pressure drop is calculated according to the following equation [1].
In order to determine K, manufacturer data is used and :
With the help of the Matlab Curve Fit Toolbox a curve y = K*x^2 is fitted through several selected points.

Parameters
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Real | PD | Pressure drop coefficient, delta_p[Pa] = PD*m_flow[kg/s]^2 | |
| Assumptions | |||
| Boolean | allowFlowReversal (from PartialTwoPort) | true | = false to simplify equations, assuming, but not enforcing, no flow reversal |
| Advanced | |||
| Modelica.Units.SI.PressureDifference | dp_start (from PartialTwoPortTransport) | 0 | Guess value of dp = port_a.p - port_b.p |
| Medium.MassFlowRate | m_flow_start (from PartialTwoPortTransport) | 0 | Guess value of m_flow = port_a.m_flow |
| Medium.MassFlowRate | m_flow_small (from PartialTwoPortTransport) | Small mass flow rate for regularization of zero flow | |
| Advanced › Diagnostics | |||
| Boolean | show_T (from PartialTwoPortTransport) | true | = true, if temperatures at port_a and port_b are computed |
| Boolean | show_V_flow (from PartialTwoPortTransport) | true | = true, if volume flow rate at inflowing port is computed |
Connectors
| Type | Name | Default | Description |
