Basic solar thermal controller based on temperature differences
only.
Description
Controller for solar thermal primary circuit. The controller is
based on the temperature difference between solar collector and an
input (usually bottom of storage tank). When a safety temperature
is exceeded (separate input), the system will go off.
Assumptions and limitations
- Simple temperature based control.
Model use
- Connect the controller to collector and storage tank and the
output to the pump
- Configure the temperature set points.
Validation
No validation performed.
Example
An example of the use of this model is given in
