[esp-r] Linkage between Plant Network and Fluid Flow Network

[Aizaz Samuel]

Pedro,

You need to link flow networks with plant. This is done from the option "h 
link to fluid flow network" in the main plant network menu. When you do link 
a fluid flow network you will have to link connections on the plant side with 
connections on the flow side. It is permissible to have unlinked connections 
on the flow side but not on the plant side. Once linked the flows from flow 
network will override any statically defined flows on the plant side.

As far as I know there is a slight problem in plant file writing when linked 
with flow network. I have addressed this in my branch but do not think this 
has been taken up in the main esp-r source code yet. In any case there is an 
exemplar that you could refer to. If you choose exemplar > systems+network 
fluid flow > multi zone VAV system, you should be able to get it. It might be 
useful to compare the plant network files from your model with this model if 
you get a problem.

Regards,
Aizaz

Dear All,

When we are setting up a plant network and a fluid flow network separetely,
 we could define, p.e. a fan with diferents flows for both networks. But
 after the linkage between them we shoud have the same flow for boths - I
 think. Makes sense! But how could we certify this?

Thank for your attention in advance,
Best regards

PG
