modelDemandControlledAHU

Example for air handling unit with demand controlled ventilation

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example.

Information

This example shows the combination of the GenericAHU with a ThermalZone. The used controller is designed for demand controlled ventilation (DCV) based on the CO2-Concentration in the zone. The Example provides a ready-to-use framework for testing and tuning controllers.

The nominal values for heat exchangers are derived from data sheets and experimental data of a test bench air handling unit at the Institute for Energy Efficient Buildings and Indoor Climate.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
RealCO2Con_start400Start value for CO2 concentration in the thermal zone in ppm
RealCO2ConAmb450CO2 concentration in ambient air in ppm
