modelWall_ASHRAE140

Wall modell for ASHRAE 140 with absorbtion of solar radiation

Extends from AixLib.Obsolete.BaseClasses.ObsoleteModel (Icon for classes that are obsolete and will be removed in later versions).

Information

Overview

Flexible Model for Inside Walls and Outside Walls.

Concept

The Wall model models

  • Conduction and convection for a wall (different on the inside surface depending on the surface orientation: vertical wall, floor or ceiling)
  • Outside walls may have a window and/ or a door
  • Inside walls may have a door

This model uses a HeatStarComb Connector for an easier connection of temperature and radiance inputs.

Assumputions

  • Outside walls are represented as complete walls
  • Inside walls are modeled as a half of a wall, you need to connect a corresponding second half with the same values
  • Door and window got a constant U-value
  • No heat storage in doors or window

Have a closer look at the used models to get more information about the assumptions.
