modelYorkCalc

Test model for cooling tower using the York performance correlation

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

Information

This example illustrates the use of the cooling tower model Buildings.Obsolete.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.YorkCalc. 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 is controlled to track a fixed temperature.
