IdealHeatingCooling

Heat flow rate Q_flow (an input), split between the room air and its radiant star

FastSmoothBuildings.HVAC.IdealHeatingCooling, model (source)

Purpose

Ideal heating and cooling given as a heat flow rate: the input Q_flow, positive for heating and negative for cooling, split between the room air and its radiant star. It has no controller and no limit, so that the heat flow rate can be a decision of an optimal control problem.

Equations

heatPortCon.Q_flow = −(1 − fRad) Q,   heatPortRad.Q_flow = −fRad Q,

the ports carrying the heat into the component.

Parameters

fraRad = 0, the radiant share.

Use

Connect heatPortCon to heaPorAir and heatPortRad to heaPorRad of a zone. In Examples.TwoZones the input is the output of an EmissionMonitored control times 1500 W.

Parameters

Parameter Type Unit Default Description
fraRad Real 0 Radiant share
