Use
This auxiliary interface model enables modelers to divide physical models with heating and cooling circuits into several parts and to freely cut individual pipe branches. It often works in combination with the ExtractVolumeFlow model.
The DefineVolumeFlow covers the following applications:
Basic: During debugging, test simulations should show if parts of a heating system work properly, e.g. heat storage system with connected heating circuit but without a suitable heat supplier. It therefore provides to add generic input data without closed-loop dependencies to other model components.
Advanced: Users want to integrate measured temperatures and flows in a heating circuit as input data sets to a complex model - Hybrid Digital Twin. It provides an input interface for external data sets.
To use this model, connect suitable model components of the MSL (i.e. elements with real outputs of Modelica.Blocks like RealExpression or CombiTable1Ds) to define both ▶TMedium and ▶qvMedium. Make sure that input values fit SI-units or similar units are used.
