Sensible heat recovery wheel with bypass dampers

Extends from Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.ThermalWheels.Sensible.BaseClasses.PartialWheel.

Information

Model of a sensible heat recovery wheel, which consists of a heat exchanger and two dampers to bypass the supply and exhaust airflow, respectively.

This model does not require geometric data. The performance is defined by specifying the part load (75% of the nominal supply flow rate) and nominal sensible heat exchanger effectiveness. This operation of the wheel is configured as follows.

  • If the operating signal uRot=true,
  • Otherwise,
    • The wheel power consumption is 0.
    • In addition, there is no heat transfer, i.e., the sensible heat exchanger effectiveness of the heat recovery wheel is 0.
