# Story 11.4: FloodedCondenser Status: done ## Story As a **chiller engineer**, I want **a FloodedCondenser component**, So that **I can simulate chillers with accumulation condensers where a liquid bath regulates condensing pressure.** ## Acceptance Criteria 1. **Given** a FloodedCondenser with refrigerant side (flooded) and fluid side (water/glycol) **When** computing heat transfer **Then** the liquid bath regulates condensing pressure **And** outlet is subcooled liquid 2. **Given** a FloodedCondenser with UA parameter **When** computing heat transfer **Then** UA uses flooded-specific correlations (Longo default for BPHX) **And** subcooling is calculated and accessible 3. **Given** a converged FloodedCondenser **When** querying outlet state **Then** subcooling (K) is calculated and returned **And** outlet enthalpy indicates subcooled liquid 4. **Given** a FloodedCondenser component **When** adding to system topology **Then** it implements the `Component` trait (object-safe) **And** it supports `StateManageable` for ON/OFF/BYPASS states 5. **Given** a FloodedCondenser with calibration factors **When** `calib.f_ua` is set **Then** effective UA = `f_ua × UA_nominal` **And** `calib.f_dp` scales pressure drop if applicable ## Tasks / Subtasks -

Refrigerant condenses in a liquid bath that surrounds the cooling tubes - The liquid bath regulates condensing pressure via hydrostatic head - Outlet is **subcooled liquid** (not saturated or two-phase) - Used in industrial chillers, process refrigeration, and large HVAC systems ### Equations | # | Equation | Description | |---|----------|-------------| | 1 | Heat transfer (ε-NTU or LMTD) | Q = ε × C_min × (T_hot_in - T_cold_in) | | 2 | Energy balance refrigerant | Q = ṁ_ref × (h_in - h_out) | | 3 | Energy balance secondary | Q = ṁ_sec × cp_sec × (T_sec_in - T_sec_out) | | 4 | Subcooling control (optional) | SC_computed - SC_target = 0 | ### Key Differences from FloodedEvaporator | Aspect | FloodedEvaporator | FloodedCondenser | |--------|-------------------|------------------| | Refrigerant side | Cold side | Hot side | | Outlet state | Two-phase (x ~ 0.5-0.8) | Subcooled liquid | | Control target | Outlet quality | Outlet subcooling | | Heat flow | Q > 0 (absorbs heat) | Q > 0 (rejects heat, but from component perspective) | ### Architecture Patterns **Follow existing patterns from FloodedEvaporator:** - Wrap `HeatExchanger` as inner component - Use builder pattern for configuration - Delegate Component methods to inner HeatExchanger - Track last computed values (subcooling, heat transfer) **Key files to reference:** - `crates/components/src/heat_exchanger/flooded_evaporator.rs` - Primary reference - `crates/components/src/heat_exchanger/mod.rs` - Module structure - `crates/components/src/heat_exchanger/exchanger.rs` - HeatExchanger implementation ### Project Structure Notes ``` crates/components/src/ ├── heat_exchanger/ │ ├── mod.rs # Add: pub mod flooded_condenser; pub use ... │ ├── exchanger.rs # Base HeatExchanger (reuse) │ ├── eps_ntu.rs # ε-NTU model (reuse) │ ├── flooded_evaporator.rs # Reference implementation │ └── flooded_condenser.rs # NEW - Create this file └── lib.rs # Add FloodedCondenser to exports ``` ### Testing Standards - Use `approx::assert_relative_eq!` for float comparisons - Tolerance for energy balance: 1e-6 kW - Tolerance for subcooling: 0.1 K - Test with mock FluidBackend for unit tests - All tests must pass: `cargo test --workspace` ### Code Conventions ```rust // Naming: snake_case for methods, CamelCase for types pub fn with_subcooling_control(mut self, enabled: bool) -> Self { ... } // NewType pattern for physical quantities fn compute_subcooling(&self, h_out: f64, p: Pressure) -> Option // Tracing, never println! tracing::debug!("FloodedCondenser subcooling: {:.2} K", subcooling); // Error handling via Result, never panic in production pub fn validate_outlet_subcooled(&self, h_out: f64, p_pa: f64) -> Result ``` ### References -
