modelDryCooler

Test model for dry cooler using epsilon-NTU heat transfer correlation

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Example, BaseClasses.PartialStaticTwoPortCoolingTower.

Information

This example illustrates the use of the dry cooler model Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.DryCooler. Heat is injected into the volume vol. An on/off controller switches the cooling loop water pump on or off based on the temperature of this volume. The dry cooler outlet temperature is controlled to track a fixed temperature. The thermal performance of the dry cooler is specified through the data record Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.Data.DryCooler.DryCooler.
