modelClosetFullBed
Extends from Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.MixedAir (Model of a room in which the air is completely mixed).
Information
This is a duplicate model of Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.FLEXLAB.Rooms.X3A.Closet with the wall separating this model and Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.FLEXLAB.Rooms.X3B.Closet removed. It is intended for use in simulations which include both room models to simulate the whole test bed. If the regular models are used the wall separating the closets will be modeled twice, so one model must have the wall removed. This documentation only describes the walls and connections which are different from Buildings.ThermalZones.Detailed.FLEXLAB.Rooms.X3A.Closet. For information on the rest of the walls and connections see that documentation.
There are four different wall sections connected to the closet modeled here. They are shown in the figure below. Only wall section 2 is described in this documentation.
The different wall sections are represented in the model according to the following table.
| Wall Section Number | Description | Location in Model | Corresponding Layer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Dividing wall modeled in ThermalZones.Detailed.FLEXLAB.Rooms.X3B.Closet | surBou[3] |
As a result of removing the dividing wall construction, the location of the construction of the floor has changed. The following table shows the old and new location of this wall construction.
| Physical Description | Location in Closet | Location in ClosetNoCelDiv |
|---|---|---|
| Construction modeling the floor | datConBou[3] | datConBou[2] |
Several of the connections in this model are intended to be connected to specific surfaces in other room models. The following table describes the connections to models outside of the X3A package. The connections in datConExt are not described in the table because they are connected to the external environment, and no additional heat port connections are necessary. A rationale for why the model is created this way is also provided if it is considered necessary.
| Location in Closet | Description of External Connection | Location in External Model | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| surf_surBou[3] | X3B.Closet | X3B.Closet.surf_conBou[2] | X3B.Closet.surf_conBou[2] is the location of the cell dividing wall in the neighboring closet. Connecting X3A.ClosetNoCelDiv.surf_surBou[3] to this port models heat transfer from the wall in ThermalZones.Detailed.FLEXLAB.Rooms.X3B.Closet to the air in this space. |
