blockHeaterCooler_u

Declaration of an FMU that exports an ideal heater or cooler with prescribed heat flow rate

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.FMI.ExportContainers.ReplaceableTwoPort (Container to export thermofluid flow models with two ports as an FMU).

Information

This example demonstrates how to export an FMU with a heater that takes as an input signal the normalized heat flow rate. The FMU has an instance of Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.HeaterCooler_u.

The mass dynamics has been set to massDynamics=Modelica.Fluid.Types.Dynamics.SteadyState. See the user's guide for the rationale.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Booleanuse_p_in (from PartialTwoPort)true= true to use a pressure from connector, false to output Medium.p_default
Modelica.Units.SI.MassFlowRatem_flow_nominal0.01Nominal mass flow rate
Modelica.Units.SI.PressureDifferencedp_nominal0Pressure
Modelica.Units.SI.HeatFlowRateQ_flow_nominal100Heat flow rate at u=1, positive for heating
Assumptions
BooleanallowFlowReversal (from PartialTwoPort)true= true to allow flow reversal, false restricts to design direction (inlet -> outlet)
