.Buildings.HeatTransfer.Windows.BaseClasses.HeatCapacity

Information

Heat capacitor in which the capacity is scaled based on the input signal u.

This model is similar to Modelica.Thermal.HeatTransfer.Components.HeatCapacitor. However, it has, depending on the parameterization, either one or two heat capacities. Depending on the input signal ySha, the size of one of the capacity is decreased, and the size of the other capacity is increased. This model is used to add a state variable on the room-facing surface of a window. The window implementation in the Buildings library is such that there are two parts of a window, one for the unshaded part, and one for the shaded part. This model allows adding heat capacity to such a window with variable areas, while conserving energy when one area shrinks and the other expands accordingly.
