Hybrid production Heating

Application

Hybrid production blocks are Base Circuits (BCs) 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, Hysopt cannot decide independently how the design heat flow coming from end units needs to be distributed among the different production units. For this purpose, hybrid production blocks are introduced. This principle is illustrated in the figure below:

Hybrid production overview

In the Hysopt software, several hybrid production topologies are available:

Parallel production deze tekst

Serial production is voor uitlijning

 

Drag flow power node on supply or return pipe

 

Switched production

Switched serial production on supply/return pipe

Reverse drag flow power node on supply/return pipe
