DHWHeatRec

Name Type Variability Description/Comments
mult SI_GEZ input time
  • multiplier
  • modeled as wr_mult identical heat recovery devices
hwEndUse choice:DHWEU input time
  • end use source for this device
  • as of 12-18, only supports C_DHWEUCH_SHOWER
type choice:DWHRTY input time
  • type: C_DWHRTYCH_
  • _HORIZ or _VERT: effectiveness adjusted per CASE regressions
  • depending on flows and temps, same model for both
  • _SETEF: wr_effRated used w/o modification (testing aid)
nFXDrain SI_GEZ input time
  • number of fixtures (of type wr_hwEndUse) draining
  • via this [DHWHEATREC][dhwheatrec]
nFXCold SI_GEZ input time
  • number of fixtures (of type wr_hwEndUse) draining
  • via this [DHWHEATREC][dhwheatrec] with cold source = this [DHWHEATREC][dhwheatrec]
  • default = wr_nFXDrain
  • if < wr_nFXDrain, remainder have cold source = mains
  • Note: wr_feedsWH = No and wr_nFXCold=0 is illegal
feedsWH choice:NOYES input time
  • iff C_NOYESCH_YES, potable output is plumbed to water heater
  • cold water inlet
Name Type Variability Description/Comments
effRated number Start of hour rated effectiveness (generally CSA rating value)
Name Type Variability Description/Comments
tdInDiff FLOAT_GEZ Start of hour
  • drain-side inlet water temp drop from fixture mixed temp, F
  • tdIn = tFxMix - tdInDiff; default = 4.6 F
Name Type Variability Description/Comments
tdInWarmup FLOAT_GEZ Start of hour
  • drain-side inlet temp during warmup portion of draw
  • default = 65.
