Information

This model represents the heat pump isolation valves. The isolation valves are modeled as two-way two-position valves, which can be located at the heat pump inlet and/or outlet depending on the settings of the parameters have_valHpInlIso and have_valHpOutIso. It is assumed that the heat pumps always provide heating hot water. Optionally, chilled water return and supply and the associated isolation valves can be modeled by setting the parameter have_chiWat to true.

Implementation details

By default, the isolation valves are modeled considering a linear variation of the pressure drop with the flow rate (linearized=true), as opposed to the quadratic relationship usually considered for a turbulent flow regime. By limiting the size of the system of nonlinear equations, this setting reduces the risk of solver failure and the time to solution.
