The question is : how to calculate the diversity factor f3, total power P3 and diversity flow v3 for DHW?

We calculate these in following order :

  • P3 = P1 + P2 (first law of thermodynamics)

  • f3 is recalculated based on the applicable diversity standard, applied on the TOTAL amount of tapflow or TOTAL amount of dwellings on the secondary side.

  • the supply temperature t3supply is defined by the user

  • the return temperature t3return is calculated as the mixed return temperature of flow 1 and flow 2 (v3 * t3return = v1 * t1return + v2 * t2return)

  • the volume flow v3 is calculated

Note

Allthough P1 + P2 = P3 it is important to mention that :

  • f3 ≠ f1 + f2

  • v3 ≠ v1 + v2
