.Buildings.DHC.Loads.HotWater.BaseClasses.TankChargingController

Information

Controller that outputs charge=true if the domestic hot water tank needs to be charged, and false otherwise.

Whether the tank needs to be charged depends on the difference between the measured top and bottom tank temperatures and the tank's set point. If the top temperature is below the set point with hysteresis, charging is enabled until the bottom temperature reaches the set point with hysteresis, at which point charging is disabled. The hysteresis is 5 Kelvin.

  First implementation.
