Simple System Pump by S. Gabel and M. Brandemuehl Revised for TRNSYS by N. Blair and R. Schwarz This model was adapted strictly for use with the TRNSYS Program by the Solar Energy Laboratory. The algorithm calculates pump power and leaving fluid temperature for a given flow rate and entering fluid conditions. The algorithm is designed for use with system energy calculations in which the detailed pressure balance information is not known. The pump power consumption is calculated from a regression of part-load power consumption as a function of part-load flow. Pump design is characterized by the pressure rise, volumetric flow rate, and pump/motor power consumption at a rating condition. Power consumption at part-load is determined by an empirical relationship as a function of the ratio of operating flow to rated flow. The pressure rise across the pump is not calculated. The fluid temperature rise is calculated to account for shaft power input, assuming that both the motor efficiency and the combined pump/motor efficiency are constant. It should be noted that the algorithm will correctly calculate inlet fluid conditions given outlet fluid conditions by specifying a negative fluidflow rate, assuming that there is negligible change in fluid density across the pump.
