This is where specify the size of the fire. One million watt is used here. A household gas heater is arouond 90kW for a 60 gallon tank.
This is where shut the boiler off in Summer, if you want.

You added these two objects in because you wanted to control the furnace to turn on and off at these temperatures. I told you that I am not check all the node names.
Normally, the set point manager alone is sufficient.
Dr.Li ,
when mass flow rate of HW PUMP is zero then gas consumption of boiler is zero too? but in my building sometimes pump will off and boiler will work it means there is no mass flow rate but heater of boiler is on ,
====================
there is one sensor in inlet of pump if it is smaller that 63 thern mass flow rate of pump will be on and if greater than of 63 mass flow rate of pump will be off , but when pump will be off on the boiler there is water and mybye its temperature smaller than 80 so burner of boiler is on , but i cant model this in energyplus because when mass flow rate in boiler is zero the boile consumption is zero ( q= m*c difference temperature,) but in real system maybe on time mass flow rate is zero but burner of boiler is on , but i dont how i can show this? could you help in doing it ?
The 65°C pipe is on another loop the DHW loop.
but Dr.Li the coil that in my real building doesn have setpoint managger for domostic hot water , only boiler has thermostat ,
You cannot use the low temperature radiant panel model to simulate your system.
You do not have a air loop system. The coil is in the DHW tank. You may have an heater in the DHW tank which is not shown in your schematic. there is no heater in DHW , it makes domostic hot water with hot water that comes from boiler,
The thermometer on the furnace is for temperature indication. A safety valve will be a whistle when the furnace temperature reaches the boiling point. The model of radiator in EPlus is the one you have.
I am a retired EE Proffessor, yes. (Universities in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 1969, Toronto, and Polytechnics in Singapore 1996.) I stopped over in Tehran in 1953.
realy ? i study MSC mechanical engeering at Polytechnics in tehran and i m intrested in applying for PHD,
i m very happly that ou were in tehran :)

Dear Dr.Li , i think i cant say my problem in english :(
Dr.Li ,
i have building that there is tank that there is gas natural heater and heat water and then this water circulate to both radiator and coil , in the coil this hot water exchange heat to domostic water and make hot domostic water ,
i think at first i do wrong i use boiler in HW loop and water heater in DHW , but in my building there is only water heater and coil ,
when i read document of energy plus i think i must use water heater that heat water for both radiator and coil and zone:hvac:low temperature radiant constant flow (for simulating radiator )
i hope i can say my problem correctly in english
by the way Dr.Li do you teach at university?
nice too meet you Dr.Li

For T.t: If you are referring to the same project. The answer is yes and no.
Dear Dr.Li
the building that i have modeled there is boiler that has tank ,how can i simulate it? i think the boiler onject in energyplus there is no tank ,
if it is right how i can simulate this?
HW loop is a class in the program. water heater is an object in a class.
The radiators are branch objects connected to the HW loop and not to a water heater, but may be a water heater tank. what you mean by may be a water heater tank? As I said before, you have to use the name and meaning of EPlus.
Radiator is a the same as a water coil, but it radiates heat in a Zone directly. It is branch of the water loop and is therefore part of the loop as a water heater tank.
Heater is the fire, the heating source, the heating element.
There are many
water heater types, electric, gas, oil, etc. It is a boiler in the HW Plant Loop.
Water heater
tank is a
storage tank, (and need not have any volume, instantaneous tank.)
you mean when tank voulme is zero then it is tankless ( instantaneous tank) and if its tank volume is not zero then it is storage tank?
I am sure you have seen a small electric water heater which can be connected in line with a shower. The element is immersed in water, but the water volume is so small, the water flowing through the pipe is heated up instantaneously. As soon as the water stops, the element is switched off. You can also set a maximum temperatur.To simulate this, you use a tank with very small volume.
ALL OBJECTS IN CLASS: WATERHEATER:MIXED ===========
WaterHeater:Mixed,
Indirect Water Heater, !- Name
AUTOSIZE, !- Tank Volume {m3}
Leave it as autosized, as you do not know the size of the tank nor the furnace. After the simulation, you can find the size used from the .EIO file.
if i put zero in tank volume , then water heater will be with out tank storage, yes? May be zero is too small, as it must wrap around the electric heater.
That is why I suggested that you need to learn the names from the EPlus manual and not from the Wiki link.
The DHW tank can be part of the same HW loop, to get the heat source from one boiler, but the water is not in the same HW loop, because the hot water loop for radiator does not want to be connected to the water main water.
HW is a closed loop. The water is circulated to the coils, radiators, and heating coils.
In DHW (domestic HW) the inlet to the tank is the water main cold water the outlet is to the tap and used and then to the drain (sewer). The EPlus objects are different for the shows, etc.

can i use water heater to inculde hot water for radiator ?
