[EnergyPlus_Support] How to add a hot water tank in my simulation



Hello.

I need to introduce a a thermal storage tank in my simulation.

In the source side the inlet node has water at 83ºC. In the outlet node i need to have a minimum of 40ºC. 

In the use side, i need the maximum temperature as possible like 80ºC in order to heat a greenhouse with some radiators. 

I my problem is that the temperature in the source outlet node is the temperature of the tank. And the temperature of the source inlet node is always rising.

If I define a setpoint temperature of the tank to the 70ºC, the source outlet temperature become 70ºC and not the 40ºC that I need. In the use side, the temperature in the inlet node is 20ºC and 70ºC in the outlet.

What I need is a heat exchanger that change the heat to the use side and only decrease the temperature 40ºC.

Is that possible?
