Ideal expansion tank with prescribed pressure
Extends from Icons.Water.ExpansionTankIdeal.
Information
This model implements an ideal expansion tank, in wich the pressure at the bottom flanges is prescribed, while the water mass is free to change in order to compensaste the fluid expansion in the circuit connected to the expansion tank itself.
Water flows in and out through the interfaces at the expansion tank bottom (flow reversal supported), the water entalpy is transferred through the flanges following to the water flow direction, whithout changes.
Parameters
- pf: prescribed pressure at the bottom flanges.
