ZoneRefrigerationDoorMixing¶

from idfpy.models import ZoneRefrigerationDoorMixing

Refrigeration Door Mixing is used for an opening between two zones (or spaces) that are at the same elevation but have different air temperatures. In this case, the mixing air flow between the two zones is determined by the density difference between the two zones. This would typically be used between two zones in a refrigerated warehouse that are controlled at different temperatures. It could also be used to model a door to a walk-in refrigerated space if that space were modeled as a zone instead of using the object Refrigeration:WalkIn.
