modelCollectorDistributor

Information

This model represents a collector/distributor which connects nCon hydronic circuits in parallel. The pressure drop between each connection is assumed negligible compared to the pressure drop in each circuit, and is set to zero in the model. By default,

• there is no bypass flow (which can be added later by connecting the ports port_bDisSup and port_aDisRet),
• the nominal distribution mass flow rate mDis_flow_nominal is equal to the sum of the nominal mass flow rate in each circuit. However, this parameter assigment is not final and it can be set for instance to a higher value to represent a primary overflow in a supply through loop.
