Controlled Heat Flow
Purpose
Generate variable heat flow
Library
Thermal
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.
Parameter
- 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 Signal
- Heat flow
- The heat flow in watts (W).
