Data record for passive rear door heat exchanger

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Record (Icon for records).

Information

Generic data record for a rear door heat exchanger used in hybrid IT racks.

The rear door heat exchanger is placed at the air outlet of the rack. It removes heat from the warm exhaust air using a liquid coolant. The heat exchanger effectiveness eps_nominal is computed from the design heat duty, the inlet temperatures, and the minimum capacity flow rate.

The parameter cpCoo_nominal is the specific heat capacity of the coolant at nominal conditions, which defaults to the value for water.
