modelHeatingCoil

Heating coil for heat storage model

Extends from AixLib.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface.

Information

Overview

Model of a heating coil to heat a fluid (e.g. water) by a given input on the heat port.

Concept

The heating coil is implemented as a pipe which is going through the storage tank. The heat transfer to the storage tank is modelled with a heat transfer coefficient.
