1. Purpose of model
Dynamic gas boiler model with splitted heat generation and emission (CO2) calculation
2. Level of detail, physical effects considered, and physical insight
By default, a given heat duty Qflow,set is set (limited) to the boilers characteristica (Qflow,n, Qflow,min) and then set to a static ideal heat exchanger. For the given heat carrier supply temperature the required heat carrier mass flow is calulated. For the operational mode the supply temperature can also be left variable.
In hold-temperature-mode the boiler needs no heat flow set-input and will heat the carrier to the given temperature within its limits of power. The Qflow,set-value is therefore calculated within the model. In this mode, the boiler can also operate with staged power (on/off or full/part/off), where the power percentage at the part-stage can be given.
The boiler's dynamic is modelled by defining the water volume in the heat exchanger.
From the part load of the boiler and the return flow temperature, the boiler efficiency and fuel heat input is calculated with characteristical lines.
Depending on the users preference (set by the parameter referenceNCV), efficiencies and power calculations in this model are based on either the net or the gross calorific value (NCV or GCV, respectively). With a function for dynamic calorific value calculation the required fuel mass flow as an output-value is generated.
A constant air ratio to be chosen is asumed.
