.Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.BaseClasses.CoolingTower

Information

Base class for a steady-state cooling tower. The variable TAirHT is used to compute the heat transfer with the water side of the cooling tower. For a dry cooling tower, this is equal to the dry-bulb temperature. For a wet cooling tower, this is equal to the wet-bulb temperature.

Revisions

• January 16, 2020, by Michael Wetter:
  Refactored model to avoid mixing textual equations and connect statements.
• July 12, 2011, by Michael Wetter:
  Introduced common base class for Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.YorkCalc and Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.FixedApproach so that they can be used as replaceable models.
• May 12, 2011, by Michael Wetter:
  Added binding equations for Q_flow and mXi_flow.
• March 8, 2011, by Michael Wetter:
  Removed base class and unused variables.
• April 7, 2009, by Michael Wetter:
  Changed interface to new Modelica.Fluid stream concept.
