modelEquationFitReversible_CoolingClosedLoop

Test model for a closed loop of a reverse heat pump based on performance curves

Information

Example that simulates the performance of Buildings.Fluid.HeatPumps.EquationFitReversible based on the equation fit method. The heat pump takes as an input the set point for the chilled leaving water temperature and an integer input equals to -1 which corresponds to the cooling operational mode.

The heat pump is connected to a control volume to which heat is added and the pump moves the water to the heatpump where it is cooled to meet the corresponding set point water temperature.

  • October 19, 2020, by Michael Wetter:
    Removed startTime=0 for pulse block.
    This is for #2170.
  • May 1, 2020, by Hagar Elarga:
    Corrected the uMod parameters and relocated the pressure source pre to the pump suction side, i.e. maintain the pressure suction value at 3 bar to avoid cavitation.
  • September 23, 2019, by Hagar Elarga:
    First implementation.
