modelMinimalFlowRate

Safety control for minimum mass flow rate

Extends from BaseClasses.PartialSafetyWithCounter.

Information

Safety control to prevent the device from turning on if the mass flow rate is too low in either condenser or evaporator.

Used in real devices to prevent overheating or freezing of components.

Parameters

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Modelica.Units.SI.MassFlowRatemEvaMin_flowMinimal mass flow rate in evaporator required to operate the device
Modelica.Units.SI.MassFlowRatemConMin_flowMinimal mass flow rate in condenser required to operate the device

Components

TypeNameDefaultDescription
Modelica.Blocks.Logical.HysteresishysConCheck if condenser mass flow rate is high enough
Modelica.Blocks.Logical.HysteresishysEvaCheck if evaporator mass flow rate is high enough
Modelica.Blocks.Logical.Andand1Both condenser and evaporator have sufficient flow
