Modular Boiler Model - With pump and feedback - Simple PLR regulation

Extends from AixLib.Fluid.Interfaces.PartialTwoPortInterface.

Information

The ModularBoiler package uses the AixLib.Fluid.BoilerCHP.BoilerGeneric model to create an easy to use module.

Configuration options

The model can be configured with or without a pump (hasPump) and with or without a feedback circuit (hasFeedback) for return temperature control.

Furthermore the model can have an internal control for the flow temperature based on a heating curve (use_HeaCur). This allows an easy setup of a direct to use simulation model of the boiler that can be connected to other modules.
