Test model for Carnot_TCon with limited heating capacity

Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Validation.Carnot_TCon_LimitedCapacity

This example extends from Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Examples.Carnot_TCon but limits the heating capacity.

Extends from Examples.Carnot_TCon (Test model for heat pump based on Carnot efficiency and condenser outlet temperature control signal).

Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Validation.Carnot_TCon_LowTemperature Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Validation.Carnot_TCon_LowTemperature

Test model for Carnot_TCon with low condenser leaving water temperature

Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Validation.Carnot_TCon_LowTemperature

Information

This example extends from Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Examples.Carnot_TCon but decreases the set point for the leaving condenser temperature to be below its inlet temperature, in which case the model provides no heating. Towards the end of the simulation, the inlet temperature of the condenser is decreased to be below the evaporator temperature. In this domain, the model requires cooling again. While this is not a meaningful operating point for the model, the example verifies that it robustly simulates this regime.

Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Validation.Carnot_TCon_reverseFlow Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Validation.Carnot_TCon_reverseFlow

Test model for heat pump based on Carnot efficiency and condenser outlet temperature control signal

Annex60.Fluid.HeatPumps.Validation.Carnot_TCon_reverseFlow

Information

Example that simulates a heat pump whose efficiency is scaled based on the Carnot cycle. The heat pump takes as an input the condenser leaving water temperature. The condenser mass flow rate is computed in such a way that it has a temperature difference equal to dTCon_nominal.

This example checks the correct behavior if a mass flow rate attains zero.
