Buildings.Controls.OBC.Utilities.SetPoints.SupplyReturnTemperatureReset
Block to compute the supply and return set point
Information
This block computes the set point temperatures for the supply and return water temperature. The set point for the zone air temperature can be an input to the model. It allows to use this model with systems that have night set back.
If used to reset the temperature in a heating system,
the parameter dTOutHeaBal can be used to shift the heating curve
to take into account that heat gains from solar, equipment and people
make up for some of the transmission losses.
For example, in energy efficient houses, the heating may not be switched on if
the outside air temperature is greater than
12°C, even if a zone temperature of 20°C is required.
In such a situation, set dTOutHeaBal=20-12=8 Kelvin to
shift the heating curve.
Typical usage
The figure below shows a typical usage for a hot water temperature reset
for a heating system.
The parameters of the block heaCur
are for a heating system with
60°C supply water temperature and
40°C return water temperature at
an outside temperature of
-10°C and a room temperature of
20°C. The offset for the temperature reset is
8 Kelvin, i.e., above
12°C outside temperature, there is no heating load.
The figure shows the computed supply and return water temperatures.
