RE: [EnergyPlus_Support] availabilityManager:High temperaturTurnoff

Dr.Li :

in the building that i simulated :The real building or the IDF?

the thermostat of boiler ( aquastat ) switch on/off the burner , and the thermostat surface on the main return pipe hot water loop that it controls hot water pump (HW pump ) and another thermostat on the domostic hot water pipe of coil tank for domostic hot water that controls when water of in the coil needs heat

If these are on your real building, they are thermometers, and do not do any controlling.

If these are in the IDF, they should be properly entered with the correct names, controllers and managers. They are not necessary, as the boiler thermostat will do all these for you.

You will not be able to use the set point managers and EMS, if you cannot distinguish a thermometer from a thermostat function.

I kept saying that you need not control the pump in the EPlus simulation, and you insist that it must stop at 80°C and start at 65°C and turn on and off the boiler fire. The system does not operate in your way.

You e-mail below showed a DHW schedule which is on all the time except at 3am. That was why I said that your pump will not turn off. You have not proved that the schedule was actually working in your IDF.

Showing me some isolated schedules and objects will not help.

An intermitent pump in EPlus is one which can be switched on and off. The pump itself does not sense the flow rate, the pressure or the temperature. It is switched on/off by another controller. could you please describe more little about what controller?

It may turn itself off, if the pressure is too high for safety reasons. This is why you have a by-pass branch in the loop. The thermostat turns off the burner.

the zone air thermostat turn off the burner? It should not turns off the pump at the same time, unless the pump has a by-pass. I do not know what switches it off in your real system.

Dr.Li can you say what does intermitent pump in energyplus?

the pump will run at its capacity if a load is sensed and will shut off if there is no load on loop ,

can you explain it please ?

You have some input to the IDF for the DHW usage. I have no idea whether it is running or not in the simulation. Please do not show me a spread sheet for some measured results, and theb link my comments for the spread sheet to the simulation that I do not know. Dr. Li

That was because you were not using the DHW, and you have 1 mega watt of furnace power. The boiler furnace does not control the HW pump. Dr. Li

This is why you must not change names and create different names of the objects. "HW pump" is not the same as "pump" to me. I do not associate 3 and 4 with the spread sheet as they are only for two other variables. HW pump on and boiler off is a valid state, because the pump is not controlled by the boiler. The pump is on the supply side water loop, the boiler fire is on the heating tank source side, and is not in the water loop. Your statement on EPlus is not correct. Dr. Li

thanks for looking that

The data looked normal. You should have taken the temperature values at the same time. yes i take it but in the excel file that i send you there is nt,
You did not record the DHW pump on the spread sheet.

i recorded DHW pump , but in this file that i send you it is only HW pump HW pump off, boiler off not listed below,

i wrote wrong in number 3, sorry , it must be HW pump off ,boiler off there is on the spread sheet.

in my energyplus result i dont see number 4 case (HW pump on and boiler off ) i dont undrestand why?

) Hw pump off but boiler on (DHW is being heated)

2)Hw pump on and boiler on (Normal )

3)HW pump 0ff but boiler on (HW below set point, DHW not in use)

4)HW pump on and boiler off (Tank is hot enough for a while) i dont this case result ( HW pump on and boiler off ) in my energyplus result ,

This is an indication that you did not plan the experiment well, and do not record the actual condition on site. Instead of 0 and 1's on the spread sheet, you should combined the states and then list the meaning of each state. Two pumps and a boiler fire should give you 8 states.
yes you are right i have 8 states, but in the excel file that i sent you , there is only the result of HW pump and boiler
Some states may not be possible, and then your should try to explain them. Dr. Li

please see the file that i attached :this is the real experiment data that i measured :

it shows some times all of below

1) Hw pump off but boiler on (DHW is being heated)

2)Hw pump on and boiler on (Normal )

3)pump 0ff but boiler on (HW below set point, DHW not in use)

4)pump on and boiler off (Tank is hot enough for a while)
