modelCoilHeader

Header for a heat exchanger register

Extends from Buildings.BaseClasses.BaseIcon (Base icon).

Information

Header for a heat exchanger coil.

This model connects the flow between its ports without modeling flow friction. Currently, the ports are connected without redistributing the flow. In latter versions, the model may be changed to define different flow reroutings in the coil header.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
IntegernPipParNumber of parallel pipes in each register
Assumptions
BooleanallowFlowReversaltrue= true to allow flow reversal, false restricts to design direction (port_a -> port_b)
Initialization
Modelica.Units.SI.MassFlowRatemStart_flow_aGuess value for mass flow rate at port_a

Connectors

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Modelica.Fluid.Interfaces.FluidPort_a[nPipPar]port_aFluid connector a for medium (positive design flow direction is from port_a to port_b)
Modelica.Fluid.Interfaces.FluidPort_b[nPipPar]port_bFluid connector b for medium (positive design flow direction is from port_a to port_b)

Revisions

  • June 9, 2015 by Michael Wetter:
    Removed start value for port_b.m_flow to avoid an error because of conflicting start values if Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.DryCoilDiscretized is translated using pedantic mode in Dymola 2016. This is for #426.
  • December 22, 2014 by Michael Wetter:
    Removed Modelica.Fluid.System to address issue #311.
  • August 22, 2008, by Michael Wetter:
    Added start value for port mass flow rate.
  • April 14, 2008, by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation.
