modelAntiFreeze

Model to prevent source from freezing

Extends from BaseClasses.PartialSafetyWithCounter.

Information

This model is used to prevent freezing of the condenser or evaporator side. A real device would shut off as well.

This models takes the minimum of the two temperatures evaporator outlet and condenser inlet. If this minimal temperature falls below the given lower boundary, the hystereses will trigger an error and cause the device to switch off.

Assumptions

This block does not check the evaporator inlet or condenser outlet temperatures because they are assumed to be always higher than the other side.
