Information

This model illustrates how to use a boiler model with closed loop control. The controller modulates the boiler temperature between 60°C and 80°C. A three-way valve mixes recirculated water with boiler water to regulate the temperature of the volume at a constant temperature of 40°C. There is also a bypass in the boiler loop to ensure circulation when the valve position is such that it only recirculates water from the load. The bypass between valve and pump mixes recirculated water, thereby allowing the valve to work over a larger operating range. The expansion vessel near the boiler is used to set a reference pressure, and it is used to accommodate for the thermal expansion of the water.
