.IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.Data.Generic

Information

Record containing parameters for pumps or fans.

Typical use

This record may be used to assign for example fan performance data using declaration such as

  IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.SpeedControlled_y fan(
    redeclare package Medium = Medium,
      per(pressure(V_flow={0,m_flow_nominal,2*m_flow_nominal}/1.2,
                   dp={2*dp_nominal,dp_nominal,0}))) "Fan";

This data record can be used with IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.SpeedControlled_y, IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_dp, IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.FlowControlled_m_flow.

An example that uses manufacturer data can be found in IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.Validation.Pump_y_stratos.

Declaration of the peak condition

The variable peak is intentionally declared in a way that each of its element is declared individually. If it was delcared the same way as does peak_internal, Modelica would prevent the modification of its specific elements with the following error message:
Record has a value, and attempt to modify specific elements.
The element modification of e.g. V_flow will be ignored.
The other variable peak_internal uses a function call to compute its default values. By passing them to peak one by one, the model can both have default values and also allow the user to override them easily. See Modelica Specification issue #791.

Revisions

• August 20, 2024, by Hongxiang Fu:
  Now the function IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.Euler.getPeak is not called unless the Euler number method is selected. This is for IBPSA, #1912.
• April 8, 2024, by Hongxiang Fu:
  Default efficiency methods now depend on whether a pressure curve is available. This is for #3819.
• March 29, 2023, by Hongxiang Fu:
  Deleted angular speed parameters with the unit rpm. This is for IBPSA, #1704.
• March 1, 2022, by Hongxiang Fu:
  
  • Modified the record to allow separate specifications of different efficiency variables.
  • Added parameters for computation using Euler number.
  • Added parameters for providing the motor efficiency as an array vs. motor part load ratio.
  • Moved the computation of V_flow_max here from IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.PartialFlowMachine and dpMax here from IDEAS.Fluid.Movers.BaseClasses.FlowMachineInterface
  These are for #2668.
• February 19, 2016, by Filip Jorissen:
  Refactored model such that SpeedControlled_Nrpm, SpeedControlled_y and FlowControlled are integrated into one record. This is for #417.
• February 17, 2016, by Michael Wetter:
  Changed parameter N_nominal to speed_rpm_nominal as it is the same quantity as speeds_rmp. This is for #396.
• January 19, 2016, by Filip Jorissen:
  Added parameter speeds_rpm. This is for #396.
• February 13, 2015, by Michael Wetter:
  Updated documentation.
• January 6, 2015, by Michael Wetter:
  Revised record for OpenModelica.
• November 22, 2014 by Michael Wetter:
  First implementation.
