Information

Overview

Buffer storage model with support for heating rod and two heating coils. Model with variable connection pairs for loading and unlouding cycles which are defined by the associated storage layer number of the ports. Compared to the standard HeatStorage model, the position of the heating coils can also be defined in this model.

Concept

It represents a buffer storage stratified into n layers where 1 represents the bottom layer and n represents the top layer. The layers are connected to each other allowing heat and fluid transfer. The conductance, buoyancy and enthalpy flow represent the heat transfer between the layers.

The geometrical data for the storage is read by records in the DataBase package. In this model the number and the position of connection pairs for loading and unlouding cycles is variable. The position for each connection pair is defined by the associated storage layer number of input and output connection (compare connections tab).

The model also includes heat losses over the storage walls (wall, top and bottom).
