Validate the control of heat exchanger pump

Information

This example validates Buildings.Controls.OBC.ASHRAE.G36.Plants.Chillers.Economizers.Subsequences.HeatExchangerPump. It demonstrates the process of controlling the heat exchanger pump in the following scenarios:

  • At 720 seconds, the plant is enabled in waterside economizer mode. The heat exchange pump becomes enabled (yPumOn=true) and the condenser water isolation valve becomes fully open (yConWatIsoVal=1).
  • From 720 seconds to 2880 seconds, the pump speed is adjusted by the Trim and Respond sequence based on the speed reset requests that are generated based on the temperature difference between the chilled water return temperature upstream of the economizer and the chilled water temperature entering the heat exchanger.
  • At 2880 seconds, the economizer becomes disabled. Thus, the pump is disabled, and the pump speed setpoint becomes 0.
