Generalization in Plant Component Modelling

摘要

In computer simulation, accurate modelling of airrnconditioning equipment is important in the studies ofrndynamic plant performance, for instance in thernselection process of a plant control scherne, in therninvestigation of plant energy consumptions, or in therndetailed design of a plant equiprnent. With thernadvancements in computer speed and manmachine:rninterface, a new generalized plant simulationrnapproach can be used which represents the energyrnand mass flow paths by the primitive parts as thernbasic elements in constructing plant components.rnThis paper explains the mathematical concepts andrnpresents some illustrative examples with simulationrnresults validated by analytical solution andrninter-model comparisons. Advantages and possiblernfuture developments are also addressed.
