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.
