.IDEAS.Fluid.FMI.Conversion.InletToAir

Information

Block that takes an inlet connector of type IDEAS.Fluid.FMI.Interfaces.Inlet and converts it to real outputs for properties of an air-based HVAC system.

The output signal m_flow is equal to inlet.m_flow, whereas the output signals T, X_w and C are set the the properties inlet.forward. Similarly, the properties of inlet.backward are set the the values of the input signals TAirZon, X_wZon and CZon.

If allowFlowReversal = true, input signal connectors are enabled that are used to set the fluid properties for backflow in the connector inlet.backward. This can be used if this block is used to connect an HVAC system to a thermal zone, in which case the supply air properties are in the connector inlet.forward, and the return air properties are in the connector inlet.backward.

See IDEAS.Fluid.FMI.Adaptors.ThermalZone for its usage.

• January 18, 2019, by Jianjun Hu:
  Limited the media choice to moist air only. See #1050.
• June 28, 2016, by Michael Wetter:
  Revised implementation to allow flow out of the thermal zone, for example to model the return air flow.
