BoilerTemperatureControl

Firing of a boiler without storage (trano Buildings boiler): P controller (k) on the boiler temperature, while there is demand

FastSmoothBuildings.Controls.BoilerTemperatureControl, model (source)

Purpose

Firing of a boiler without storage (trano's Buildings boiler): a proportional controller on the boiler water temperature, while there is demand.

Equations

y = demand smoothLimit(k (TempSet − T), 0, 1, dY).

The part load ratio is 1 once the boiler is about 1/k below its set point and 0 above it, exactly, by smoothLimit; the demand multiplies it instead of switching it.

Parameters

TempSet = 353.15 K, k = 1, dY = 10−3 (the half-width of the smooth limits of the part load).

Use

In Examples.BoilerCircuit, with a demand of 1.

Parameters

Parameter Type Unit Default Description
TempSet Real K 353.15 Boiler temperature set point
k Real 1 Gain
dY Real 1e-3 Width of the smooth limits of the part load
