Controlled Heat Flow

Purpose

Generate variable heat flow

Library

Thermal / Sources

Description

The Controlled Heat Flow generates a variable heat flow between the two thermal ports. The direction of a positive heat flow through the component is marked with an arrow. The momentary heat flow is determined by the signal fed into the input of the component.

Parameters

Allow state-space inlining: For expert use only! When set to on and the input signal is a linear combination of thermal measurements, PLECS will eliminate the input variable from the state-space equations and substitute it with the corresponding output variables. The default is off.

Probe Signals

Heat flow: The heat flow in watts \((\mathrm{W})\).
