Sandwich wall construction for heat storage cover

Information

Overview

Model of a sandwich wall construction as cover of a hot water tank (thermal storage).

Concept

The heat transfer is implemented consisting of the insulation material and the tank material. Only the material data is used for the calculation of losses. No additional losses are included.
