Story 7.6: Component Calibration Parameters (Calib)
Status: done
Story
As a R&D engineer matching simulation to real machine test data, I want calibration factors (Calib) on components, so that simulation results align with manufacturer test data and field measurements.
Acceptance Criteria
-
Calib Implementation (AC: #1)
- Compressor and Expansion Valve support
f_m(default 1.0): ṁ_eff = f_m × ṁ_nominal - Pipe and Heat Exchanger support
f_dp(default 1.0): ΔP_eff = f_dp × ΔP_nominal - Evaporator and Condenser support
f_ua(default 1.0): UA_eff = f_ua × UA_nominal - Compressor support
f_power(default 1.0): Ẇ_eff = f_power × Ẇ_nominal - Compressor support
f_etav(default 1.0): η_v,eff = f_etav × η_v,nominal (displacement models; AHRI 540: f_m suffices) - Default 1.0 = no correction; typical range [0.8, 1.2]
- Compressor and Expansion Valve support
-
Serialization & Persistence (AC: #2)
- Calib struct serializable in JSON (short keys: f_m, f_dp, f_ua, f_power, f_etav)
- Loading from JSON restores Calib values
- Traceability metadata can include calibration_source (test data hash or identifier)
-
Calibration Workflow Documentation (AC: #3)
- Document recommended order: f_m → f_dp → f_ua → f_power (prevents parameter fighting)
- Reference: alphaXiv, Buildings Modelica, EnergyPlus, TRNSYS, TIL Suite
-
Validation Against Test Data (AC: #4)
- With calibrated components, results match test data within configurable tolerance
- Example targets: capacity ±2%, power ±3% (industry typical)
- Unit tests verify scaling (f=1.0 unchanged, f=1.1 scales by 10%)
Tasks / Subtasks
- Define Calib struct (AC: #1)
- Create
Calib { f_m, f_dp, f_ua, f_power, f_etav }incrates/core - Default: all 1.0; serde with short keys; validation: 0.5 ≤ f ≤ 2.0
- Document each factor with component mapping and literature ref
- Create
- Add f_m to Compressor and Expansion Valve (AC: #1)
- Compressor: ṁ_out = f_m × ṁ_ahri540
- Expansion Valve: scale mass flow if orifice model; else f_m on inlet flow
- Add f_power and f_etav to Compressor (AC: #1)
- f_power: Ẇ_out = f_power × Ẇ_ahri540
- f_etav: for displacement models; AHRI 540: use f_m only, f_etav=1.0
- Add f_dp to Pipe and Heat Exchanger (AC: #1)
- Pipe: ΔP_eff = f_dp × ΔP_darcy_weisbach
- Heat Exchanger: scale refrigerant-side ΔP if modeled
- Add f_ua to Evaporator and Condenser (AC: #1)
- Heat transfer models: UA_eff = f_ua × UA_nominal before Q = UA × ΔT_lm
- JSON serialization (AC: #2)
- Calib in component schema; round-trip test
- Optional calibration_source in metadata
- Documentation and tests (AC: #3, #4)
- Dev Notes: calibration order and literature refs
- Unit tests: f_m, f_dp, f_ua, f_power scaling
- Integration test: calibrated cycle vs synthetic test data

Calibration Workflow (sequential):
- f_m — mass flow (compressor power + ṁ measurements)
- f_dp — pressure drops (inlet/outlet pressures)
- f_ua — heat transfer (superheat, subcooling, capacity)
- f_power — compressor power (if f_m insufficient)
Previous Story Intelligence

Completion Notes List
- Calib struct added in crates/core (calib.rs) with serde, validation 0.5–2.0, and doc with calibration order.
- Compressor: calib field, f_m on mass_flow_rate(), f_power on power_consumption_cooling/heating; calib(), set_calib().
- Expansion valve: calib field, f_m in mass flow residual and jacobian; calib(), set_calib().
- Pipe: calib field, f_dp in pressure_drop(); calib(), set_calib().
- HeatExchanger: calib field; LmtdModel and EpsNtuModel: ua_scale, effective_ua(), set_ua_scale(); exchanger syncs calib.f_ua to model.
- Evaporator and Condenser: calib() and set_calib() delegate to inner HeatExchanger.
- Unit tests: test_f_m_scales_mass_flow, test_f_power_scales_compressor_power, test_f_dp_scales_pressure_drop, test_f_ua_scales_heat_transfer; core: test_calib_json_roundtrip, test_calib_aliases_backward_compat.
- Added calibration_source: Option to Calib with serde skip_serializing_if; removed Copy trait (kept Clone); test_calib_calibration_source validates JSON roundtrip with metadata.
- Integration test: calibrated_cycle_integration.rs — 5 tests validating f_ua capacity scaling (±2%), f_m×f_power compressor work scaling (±3%), f_dp pressure drop scaling, nominal baseline, and calibration_source metadata roundtrip through solver cycle.
