8.1 MaxTemperature
Description:
Defines the maximum working temperature of the TCD
Unit:
°C or °F
Example:
160
8.2 PowerValue
Description:
Power value, defines the heating capacity of the TCD with the rated voltage
Unit:
kW
Example:
8
8.3 ConnectedLoad
Description:
Connected load, defines the connections of the TCD (pump performance, heating capacity and performance of the remaining components)
Unit:
kW
Example:
10.2
8.4 NominalFlowRate
Description:
Nominal flow rate, defines the maximum achievable flow rate of the TCD
Unit:
l/min, gal/min or ft³/min
Example:
45
8.5 CoolingCapacity
Description:
Power value for cooling, defines the power value for cooling at temperature difference 60 K between cooling water and heat transfer medium
Unit:
kW
Example:
30
8.6 DeviceZoneId
Description:
As written in 4.1, for a TCD with several device zones, there shall be several instances of TCD_InterfaceType with one object DeviceZone each. In this case, the DeviceZoneId shall be used to identify the different device zones.
