modelHeater

Base class for example model for the heater and cooler

Information

This partial model is used to construct the models Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.AirHeater_T and Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.AirHeater_u and the similar models Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.WaterHeater_T and Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.Examples.WaterHeater_u. It consists of a volume with heat loss to the ambient, a fan, a set point for the temperature of the volume and a PI controller.

The instance bou is required to set a reference pressure for system models in which the fluid is modelled as an incompressible fluid, and it also is required to account for a variation of density of the fluid.
