Information

This model validates Buildings.Templates.Plants.Controls.Pumps.Generic.StagingHeadered with three plant equipment and three pumps and for the following configurations.

  • Dedicated primary pumps (component staPumPriDed): the number of pumps commanded on matches the number of operating equipment with a one-to-one relationship.
  • Headered primary pumps without ∆p control (component staPumPriNoDp): the number of pumps commanded on matches the number of operating equipment without a one-to-one relationship.
  • Headered primary pumps with ∆p control (component staPumPriDp): the number of pumps commanded on does not match the number of operating equipment but is rather related to the fractional flow rate. The simulation also exhibits the lead/lag rotation of the primary pumps.
  • Headered secondary pumps with ∆p control (component staPumSecDp): the number of pumps commanded on does not match the number of operating equipment but is rather related to the fractional flow rate. All pumps are disabled when the plant is disabled.
