IdealHeater¶
Ideal emitter (trano radiator variants ideal and idealbus): Q_flow_nominal times the control y, split between the room air and its radiant star
FastSmoothBuildings.HVAC.IdealHeater, model (source)
Purpose
An ideal emitter (trano's radiator variants ideal and idealbus): the nominal power times
the control signal, without water or inertia, split between the room air and its radiant star.
Equations
Q = Qnominal smoothLimit(y, 0, 1, 10−3),
heatPortCon.Q_flow = −(1 − fRad) Q,
heatPortRad.Q_flow = −fRad Q.
smoothLimit reaches its bounds exactly: no heat at y ≤ 0, the nominal power at y ≥ 1. Its half-width 10−3 is fixed. The ports carry the heat into the component, hence the signs: the heat leaves the emitter into the room.
Parameters
Q_flow_nominal, the nominal power; fraRad = 0, the radiant share.
Use
Connect heatPortCon to heaPorAir and heatPortRad to heaPorRad
of a zone (Zones.Zone), and y to an emission
control such as EmissionOnOff, as in
Examples.TwoZones.
