This unit model is formulated as a reactive single-inlet, double-outlet model form. See documentation for :ref:`reactive single-inlet, double-outlet Helper Methods<sidor_methods>`.
The constraint used to calculate energy consumption is described in the Additional Constraints section below. More details can be found in the unit model class.
Costing is calculated using the cost_metab method in the zero-order costing package. See documentation for the :ref:`zero-order costing package<zero_order_costing>`.
