Revisions
-
June 18, 2014, by Michael Wetter:
Added initialization formasto avoid a warning during translation. -
September 11, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
Separated old model into one for dry and for wet heat exchangers. This was done to make the coil compatible with OpenModelica. -
May 1, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
Changed the redeclaration ofvol2to be replaceable, asvol2is replaced in some models. -
April 19, 2013, by Michael Wetter:
Made instanceMassExchangereplaceable, rather than conditionally removing the model, to avoid a warning during translation because of unused connector variables. -
July 11, 2011, by Michael Wetter:
Removed assignment of medium invol1andvol2, since this assignment is already done in the base class using thefinalmodifier. -
August 12, 2008, by Michael Wetter:
Introduced option to compute each medium using a steady state model or a dynamic model. -
March 25, 2008, by Michael Wetter:
First implementation.
