modelInteriorWall

Interior wall consisting of variable number of RC elements

Information

InteriorWall represents heat storage within walls. It links a variable number n of thermal resistances and capacities to a series connection. n thus defines the spatial discretization of thermal effects within the wall. All effects are considered as one-dimensional normal to the wall's surface. This model is thought for interior wall elements that only serve as heat storage elements. The RC-chain is defined via a vector of capacities CInt[n] and a vector of resistances RInt[n]. Resistances and capacities are connected alternately, starting with the first resistance RInt[1], from heat port_a into the wall.
