7.5.3.44 IfcHeatExchangerType

7.5.3.44.1 Semantic definition

The energy conversion device type IfcHeatExchangerType defines commonly shared information for occurrences of heat exchangers. The set of shared information may include:

  • common properties with shared property sets
  • common representations
  • common materials
  • common composition of elements
  • common ports

It is used to define a heat exchanger type specification indicating the specific product information that is common to all occurrences of that product type. The IfcHeatExchangerType may be declared within IfcProject or IfcProjectLibrary using IfcRelDeclares and may be exchanged with or without occurrences of the type. Occurrences of IfcHeatExchangerType are represented by instances of IfcHeatExchanger. Refer to the documentation at IfcHeatExchanger for supported property sets, materials, composition, and ports.
