Test model for heat exchanger with hHex_a and hHex_b interchanged
Diagram of HeatExchangerLocation

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example (Icon for runnable examples).

Information

This validation model compares two tank models. The only difference between the two tank models is that tan_aTop has the hot water inlet for the heat exchanger above its outlet, whereas tan_bTop has the hot water inlet below its outlet. In both models, the heat exchanger extends from element 9 to element 11.

Revisions

  • June 7, 2018 by Filip Jorissen:
    Copied model from Buildings and update the model accordingly. This is for #314.
  • July 5, 2017, by Michael Wetter:
    Added zero mass flow rate boundary conditions to avoid a translation error in Dymola 2018.
    This is for issue 834.
  • June 23, 2016 by Michael Wetter:
    First implementation to test issue 531.
