modelTrickleVent

Self regulating trickle vent

Extends from IDEAS.Fluid.BaseClasses.PartialResistance.

Information

Model of a self regulating trickle vent. The positive mass flow rate is limited to m_flow_nominal at a pressure difference of dp_nominal. For negative pressure differences the mass flow rate is not limited.

An optional control input can be enabled, which reduces the flow rate for the same pressure difference, but which does not affect the maximum flow rate.

Parameters
