Taxonomy

Heat Pump Classes

Parents:

Definition: A device that transfers thermal energy in the opposite direction of spontaneous heat transfer by absorbing heat from a cold reservoir and releasing it into a warmer one.

Children:

Parents:

Definition: A nonreversible heat pump that only heats or cools another substance. The flow of the refrigerant is fixed in one direction to either heat or cool the substance.

Children:

Parents:

Definition: Refrigerating machine used to transfer heat between fluids. Chillers are either direct expansion with a compressor or absorption type.

Children:

Parents:

Definition: None

Children:

Parents:

Definition: A chiller that uses the vapor compression cycle to chill water. It throws off the heat collected from the chilled water plus the heat from the compressor to a water loop

Children:

Parents:

Definition: A chiller that condenses the refrigerant by rejecting thermal energy through passing air, usually outside air, over a dry coil.

Children:

Parents:

Definition: A chiller that utilizes a thermal or/and chemical process to produce the refrigeration effect necessary to provide chilled water. There is no mechanical compression of the refrigerant taking place within the machine, as occurs within more traditional vapor compression type chillers.

There are substances (mostly refrigerants) defined here: https://github.com/BrickSchema/Brick/pull/257/files#diff-fbefd2bb05e7f85d7b935735d6e1034b41c1cbdbe43ebe1cdfd58b3952e4b584

We added a reversing valve equip class and reversing valve command point class as well

Sample chiller system model is here: https://github.com/BrickSchema/Brick/blob/f6b4a9e3c21fb15732b1d676bb3d75d13e45331f/examples/chiller-system/chiller.ttl
