Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Solar Thermal Space Heating ?s



Hi Hugo
Unfortunately i don't have the file with me cause i'm overseas on holiday. I will only get back home next year mid of january. I did build the solar combisystem and it worked. I used  HVAC water baseboard that used the solar water.Look at the solar Hotwater system example in the database. it already have the splitter and the mixer all you have to work on is adding your solar heating system (hydronic system) to it. You should be able to use stratified tank. The main difficulty with those systems are the branches and connections.
Hope this helps.
regards
Jonathan

Hello Kristin & Mike,

I am trying to create something similar. Have you managed to resolve this issue? If yes, could you please post the working .idf file?

Mike advice was to replace the heat recovery loop with the solar collector loop. Is it all what needs to be done? Should, the Chilled Water Loop and Chilled Water Condenser Loop, be left untouched, or should they be deleted?

Thank you for any advice
Best regards
HL
