functionpartialIcingFactor

Base function for all icing factor functions

Extends from Modelica.Icons.Function.

Information

Base function for calculation of the icing factor iceFac. It represents the reduction of heat exchange as a result of icing of the evaporator.

This function is used in the model IDEAS.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.RefrigerantCycle.Frosting.FunctionalIcingFactor.

Typically, functions should only require evaporator side data for calculation of the iceFac.

For more information on the iceFac, see the documentation of IDEAS.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.RefrigerantCycle.BaseClasses.PartialRefrigerantCycle

Inputs

Modelica.Units.SI.MassFlowRatemEva_flowMass flow rate at the evaporator

Outputs
