Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] About the heat recovery set up

Hello,
In development we are heading towards a general loop structure and not 
specifically typed loops.  We view loops as a collection of piping that 
allows fluid to flow through and connects components.  Thinking in this 
manner the heat recovery loop object has been obsoleted and replaced with 
the more general loop structure connecting components together that can 
facilitate heat recovery.  We have several example files that show this:
     HeatRecoveryElectricChiller.idf
     HeatRecoveryPlantLoop.idf
     HeatRecoverywithStorageTank.idf

Yes, the water heater was used in these examples to allow for storage of 
the recovered heat, but that is not necessary.  You could connect the heat 
recovered from generators directly to heating coils, for instance.

You can look in the Engineering Documentation in the "Heat Recovery Loop 
Systems" section for more information.

Thanks Richard Liesen
