Information

This is a partial model used as a base class to construct the validation and example models.

• The building distribution pumps are variable speed and the flow rate is considered to vary linearly with the load (with no inferior limit).
• The Boolean enable signals for heating and cooling typically provided by the building automation system are here computed based on the condition that the load is greater than 1% of the nominal load.
• Simplified chiller performance data are used, which represent a linear variation of the EIR and the capacity with the evaporator outlet temperature and the condenser inlet temperature (no variation of the EIR at part load is considered).

Revisions

• March 6, 2025, by Hongxiang Fu:
  Revised load curves so that the heating and cooling loads can be staggered instead of always appearing and disappearing at the same time.
  This is for #4133.
• July 31, 2020, by Antoine Gautier:
  First implementation.
