modelRegisterModule

AHU register module for heaters and coolers

Extends from AixLib.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialFourPortParallel (Partial model with four ports for components with parallel flow).

Information

The RegisterModule is a model for heating and cooling registers in air-handling units. It includes a simple heat exchanger and a replaceable hydraulic system (HydraulicModules) for the heat/cold supply with e.g. water. The Icon of the hydraulic circuit can be selected as well.

In order to communicate sensor measurements and actuator signals, the registerBus is used. The air temperature sensor signal is multiplied with a first order element to simulate the dynamic behavior of the sensors.
