Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] on/off boiler

thanks Dr.Li for your answering,

Is that what happens when you turn on a tap in your bath room? The boiler comes on immediately. The fire stops when the tap is turned off. This is the way the inline heater works.

but it is not Combination boiler that it works by taking cold water straight forward the mains supply and heating as you need it. when you turn on a tap, water drawn from the mains , heated in the boiler and comes straight out of your tap piping hot.

it is traditional boiler .

A central heating system consists of all the pipe work and radiators that are connected to the boiler. The boiler provides the heat but, it's the pump (Circulator) that moves the heated water from the boiler through the pipe work to the radiators, and back to the boiler for re-heating.

the system is controlled by two setpoint that one of them is on return water pipe from radiator and another is on outlet pipe from the boiler .

the pump works till the return water temperature of radiator reachs 70Â°C. Then it stops until the water temperature get lower than 70Â°C once again.

the boiler works at its full capacity till the outlet water temperature of boiler reachs 80Â°C. Then it stops until the water temperature get lower than 80Â°C once again.

thanks

A portable radiator heater has a thermostat switch to turn on and off the supply. There is no circulation pump.

What is missing in your simple (basic) assumption? If you have a small room, the boiler temperature may not change.

====================
A storage tank works the way you have described, between the charging cycles.

I am trying to model a very basic water heating system . The system consists of:
1) Boiler
2) Circulation pump
3) Radiators

in each time during which the boiler is turned on, the boiler operates at the full load, delivering the amount of energy equal to its design power.

In fact, what I want is to simulate the oscillations of the air temperature of the room because of the radiator i have. the boiler works at its full capacity till the outlet water temperature of boiler reachs 80Â°C. Then it stops until the water temperature get lower than 80Â°C once again.

i want to know could i model this ? and help me about it please.

thanks
