Application
Hybrid production blocks are Base Circuits (BCs) in a Hysopt model that assist the “Compute Design Flow” calculation step. In “compute design flow”, the design heat flow is propagated from end unit(s) to production unit(s). When having multiple production units, the software cannot decide independently how the design heat flow coming from the ens units needs to be propagated among the different production units. For this purpose, hybrid production blocks are used. This principle is illustrated in the figure below:

Hybrid production overview
In the Hysopt software, it is possible to connect multiple several productions in different ways.following topologies:
The software will give the following error when connecting multiple production units with just pipes:
...
Parallel production deze tekst |
 | Serial production is voor uitlijning |
 | Drag flow power node on supply |
or return pipe |

Switched production fefde |
 | Switched serial production on supply/return pipe |
 | Reverse drag flow power node on supply/return pipe |
