Information

Overview

This model emulates the behaviour of n identical radiators.

Level of Development

Concept

The PseudoRadiator is a component of the MultiRadiator

The PseudoRadiator has three functions:

  • It acts as a vessel for a part of the heat medium flow entering the MultiRadiator model;
  • It prescribes a convective and radiative heat into the environment of the MultiRadiator;
  • It acts as a source of heat medium leaving the MultiRadiator.
