recordGeneric

Generic data record for boiler performance

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

Information

This record is used as a template for performance data for the boiler model Buildings.Fluid.Boilers.BoilerTable.

Note that if the parameter fue is for the upper (or lower) heating value of the fuel, then the effiency curve must be specified for the upper (or lower) heating value.
