Information

Electric hot water tank allowing a connection with a solar thermal collector.

Hypothesis and equations

This model allows solar heat gains (from thermal collector) to be injected in the low part of the water tank.

The tank is modelled considering horizontal layers discretization. It is possible to indicate in which layer the solar heat gains from the thermal collector are injected.
