modelBypass

Extends from IBPSA.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface (Partial model transporting fluid between two ports without storing mass or energy), IBPSA.Fluid.Interfaces.TwoPortFlowResistanceParameters (Parameters for flow resistance for models with two ports).

Information

This is a model for a generic by-pass that can be used, e.g., in a district heating substation. By-passes are used to avoid waiting times in heat supply and to avoid freezing of return lines in the district heating network. However, their use increases the return temperature and, thus, the losses of the network. The by-pass can be controlled by a thermostat or it can allow a constant flow.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Assumptions
BooleanallowFlowReversal (from PartialTwoPort)true= false to simplify equations, assuming, but not enforcing, no flow reversal
Nominal condition
Modelica.SIunits.MassFlowRatem_flow_nominal (from PartialTwoPortInterface)Nominal mass flow rate

Advanced
Modelica.SIunits.MassFlowRatem_flow_small (from PartialTwoPortInterface)1E-4*abs(m_flow_nominal)Small mass flow rate for regularization of zero flow
Advanced › Diagnostics
Booleanshow_T (from PartialTwoPortInterface)false= true, if actual temperature at port is computed
Flow resistance
BooleancomputeFlowResistance (from TwoPortFlowResistanceParameters)true=true, compute flow resistance. Set to false to assume no friction
Booleanfrom_dp (from TwoPortFlowResistanceParameters)false= true, use m_flow = f(dp) else dp = f(m_flow)
