Information

Example model of a fresh water station that heats up domestic hot water. Input is a load profile which is sent to a model that computes the hot and cold water draw. The domestic hot water is produced by a heat exchanger with a district water source and optionally an electric heater. Examples with and without the electric heater are shown.
