modelEN12975_Array

Validation model for collector according to EN12975 in array configuration

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This model validates the solar collector model Buildings.Fluid.SolarCollectors.EN12975 for the case where one model has multiple panels in a 2x2 array, versus the case where two models are in parallel, each having two panels in series. The output of the block dT must be zero, as both cases must have the same outlet temperatures. Furthermore, the pressure drops over all models should be the same.
