HeatRejectionFanVariableFlowControl

Brief Description

The cooling tower fan power is 30% of the design value at 50% flow

Index Description

  • Section 6.5.5.2.1 in 90.1-2016

Datapoints Description

  • power_fan_coolingtower: Cooling tower fan power

  • power_fan_coolingtower_design: Cooling tower design fan power

  • ratio_flow_coolingtower: Cooling tower airflow ratio

  • flow_volumetric_air_coolingtower_design: Cooling tower design airflow

Assertions Description

  • Verify that at 5% flow, the cooling tower fan power is 30% of the design value. Since simulation results might not include that exact point, we use a regression based approach to determining if the code requirement is met

Type Verification Description

Rule-based
