modelEN12975NPanels

Validation model for collector according to EN12975 with different settings for nPanel

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This model validates the solar collector model Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.EN12975 for the case where the number of panels is 1 for the instance solCol and 10 for the instance solCol1. The instances difHeaGai and difHeaLos compare the heat gain and heat loss between the two models. The output of these blocks should be zero, except for rounding errors.
