RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] Solar Array with Boiler for DHW

["Ellis, Peter" <peter_ellis@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Elmer,
 
The example file "SolarCollectorFlatPlateWater.idf" illustrates a solar hot water system with DHW load, solar collectors, and storage tank (WATER HEATER:MIXED).  You can connect a boiler, or another auxiliary WATER HEATER:MIXED (perhaps configured as instantaneous water heater), in series with the storage tank.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Solar Array with Boiler for DHW


Hello all,

I am attempting a simulation of the system that provides hot water for 
a building. 

System:
A solar array and a gas fired boiler combine to provide the DHW load. 
The solar array provides as much as it can and the rest of the load is 
picked up by the boiler. Can anyone suggest how I can emulate this 
kind of system or provide a similar example circuit? Is there some 
form of object in E+ which acts as a buffer vessel for HW and can be 
heated using two disparate loops?

Kind regards

-Elmer
