[EnergyPlus_Support] Solar Hot Water to Radiant Floor
Hello All,
I am trying to set up a system in which the water from a solar hot water array will then circulate through a radiant floor slab. I've considered using the ZoneHVAC:LowTemperatureRadiant:VariableFlow object in conjunction with the SolarCollector:FlatPlate:Water object, but is this the best option. I'm not sure, I haven't gotten far enough yet, but the ZoneHVAC:LowTemperatureRadiant:VariableFlow requires it's hot/cold water to come from Plant level equipment. Is this correct? What would be the best way to then set up a flow direct from the solar panel to the radiant flooring?
Also, in control of the water temperature, I would like for the temperature to float with the outside temperature. This way, for the night time conditions, the cool water will continue to flow through the system and provide a "night flush" to the floor slab.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Four weeks till my Master's thesis presentation!!!
