Test model for cooling tower with fixed approach temperature using the dry-bulb temperature

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

Information

This example illustrates the use of the cooling tower model Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.FixedApproach, using the outdoor dry-bulb temperature as the potential for heat transfer. 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 cooling tower outlet temperature has a fixed approach temperature to the outdoor dry-bulb temperature.
