Industrial FeatureTypes in EnergyConversionSystem

[kwakuwulf]

As discussed in Vienna I'm adding some issues from the viewpoint of industrial process modelling:

Adding chiller and air compressor as feature types in EnergyConversionSystem.

[RomainNouvel]

Could you detail the required attributes of these two Systems @kwakuwulf ?

[kwakuwulf]

Chiller:

• condensationType (String)
• compressorType (String)
• refrigerant(String) assuming required temperature is given elsewhere (issue open) and COP is defined as nomincal efficiency

AirCompressor

• compressorType (String)
• pressure (Decimal)

[RomainNouvel]

Can some of the string types be defined as codelist or enumeration, in order to make it easier to use?

[mlauster]

@kwakuwulf, could you define which attributes could be codelists or enumerations and what for values should be in this lists?

[kwakuwulf]

compressorType (chiller)

• Reciprocating compressor (hermetic)
• Reciprocating compressor (semi-hermetic)
• Reciprocating compressor (open)
• Rotary vane compressor
• Scroll compressor
• Screw compressor
• Centrifugal compressor

[kwakuwulf]

condensationType

• dry cooling
• evaporative cooling
• hybrid cooling
• adiabatic cooling
• free cooling

[kwakuwulf]

Actually, air compressors should have the same list as chiller-compressors (even tough maybe not all apply)

refrigerants: a bit tricky to set up a limited enumeration list since some producers constantly come up with new refrigerants so I would avoid that by leaving it open for any String

[mlauster]

@RomainNouvel, something to add here or this fine from your side?

This issue has been solved with version 0.8.0 and can be closed.
