Extends from Modelica.Icons.RectangularSensor (Icon representing a linear measurement device).

Information

The relative temperature T(port_a) - T(port_b) is determined between the two ports of this component and is provided as output signal. The sensor should be connected in parallel with other equipment. There is no flow through the sensor.

Note that this sensor should only be connected to fluid volumes, such as Buildings.Fluid.MixingVolumes.MixingVolume. Otherwise, numerical problems may occur if one of the mass flow rates are close to zero. See Buildings.Fluid.Sensors.UsersGuide for an explanation.
