modelSpeedControlled_y

Fan or pump with ideally controlled normalized speed y as input signal

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.PartialFlowMachine (Partial model to interface fan or pump models with the medium).

Information

This model describes a fan or pump with prescribed normalized speed. The input connector provides the normalized rotational speed (between 0 and 1). The head is computed based on the performance curve that take as an argument the actual volume flow rate divided by the maximum flow rate and the relative speed of the fan.

See the User's Guide for more information.
