.Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Ice.BaseClasses.NormalizedHeatFlowRate

Information

This blocks calculate the normalized heat transfer rate for the ice tank in charging or discharging mode.

The module use the following logic:

• If canFreeze and canMelt are both false: the heat transfer rate is 0
• If canMelt = true: the heat transfer rate is the discharging rate calculated using Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Ice.BaseClasses.QStar with coefficients for discharing mode.
• If canFreeze = true: the heat transfer rate is the charging rate calculated using Buildings.Fluid.Storage.Ice.BaseClasses.QStar with coefficients for charging mode.
