Water heating system #7

Open cagabi opened 7 years ago

cagabi commented 7 years ago

There is no input for water heating system so I need to define a default one. The one we had before was

"waterheating": [ { "system": "gasboiler", "fraction": 1, "efficiency": 0.7965848065679438, "name": "Standard Gas boiler", "summer": "0.702", "winter": "0.803", "fuel": "gas", "id": 0, "fans_and_pumps": 45, "combi_keep_hot": 0 }

But that doesn't work with the current model.

@marianneURBED, I have created an assessment called Water heating system for geovation and shared it with you. Can you, please, go in there and add a heating system just for water and fill up the Hot Water System section too. Then I can copy it and make a default water heating system.

If we don't want to make big changes in Geovation (please say we don't :p) we will have to accept that there will be always one system for space heating and another one for water. I haven't checked the impact of this in the calculations but if I remember well I think it will only affect the winter efficiency in the calculation of the energy requirements for water heating.

Don't worry about this one, I am doing it :)

Ok, so now default setup for hot water is the system below with no storage


    name: "Typical Gas\/LPG system boiler",
    category: 'System boilers',
    winter_efficiency: 80,
    summer_efficiency: 70,
    fans_and_supply_pumps: 0,
    "provides": "water",
    combi_loss: 0,
    primary_circuit_loss: 'No',
    "fraction_water_heating": 1,
    "instantaneous_water_heating": false,
    "fuel": "Mains Gas",
}
