modelRadiationAdapter

Model to connect between signals and heat port for radiative gains of the room

Extends from Buildings.BaseClasses.BaseIcon (Base icon).

Information

This model can be used as a thermal adapter in situations where the temperature and the heat flow rate are computed in separate models. For example, this thermal adapter is used in the room model, which computes the distribution of radiative heat gains (such as due to a radiator) in Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.InfraredRadiationGainDistribution and computes the radiative temperature in Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.BaseClasses.RadiationTemperature. This adapter combines the heat flow rate and the temperatures that are computed in these separate models, and exposes these two quantities at its heat port.
