Revision history [back]

Hello World! I am trying to simulate a thermal solar energy system which is coupled with acummulation tanks for storage and absorption chiller for cooling loads in summer season and heater units for winter season in EnergyPlus.

However, I cannot find the Hot Water Storage System. As I found an answer for a problem which looks like my case, Boiler can be used as How Water Storage system with setting the heater capacity as zero. However I need 2 Inlet and 2 Outlet Component (as heat exchanger), 1 inlet and outlet serves to heating the water inside the tank like a heating coil; the other inlet and outlet serves to demand side.

How can I add an acummulation tank into my model?
