Duct

Duct carrying ym_flow_nominal: y is the relative speed of the fan of its unit*

FastSmoothBuildings.Ventilation.Duct, model (source)

Purpose

A duct of a balanced ventilation: it carries its nominal flow times the relative speed of the fan of its unit, read from its inlet, without heat losses or pressure.

Equations

ṁ = ∑ port_a[i].m_flow = port_a[1].y ṁnominal,   ∑ port_b[i].m_flow = −ṁ,

and every outlet carries the temperature and the speed of the first inlet connection: port_b[i].T = port_a[1].T, port_b[i].y = port_a[1].y.

Parameters

m_flow_nominal, the flow at full speed; nPorts_a = 1 and nPorts_b = 1, the numbers of connections of the inlet and of the outlet.

Use

Between a HeatRecoveryUnit and a Zones.VentilatedZone, for the supply and for the extract air, as in Examples.VentilatedRoom.

Parameters

Parameter Type Unit Default Description
nPorts_a Integer 1 Number of connections of the inlet
nPorts_b Integer 1 Number of connections of the outlet
m_flow_nominal Real kg/s Nominal flow
