Fourth Generation Thermal Loop

- [source code]

Create an Fourth Generation Thermal Loop, which represents all infrastructure for a District Energy Simulation (DES) simulation.

This includes a central hot and chilled water plant for the district.

Inputs

• chilled_temp

A number for the temperature of chilled water in the DES in degrees Celsius. (Default: 6).

• hot_temp

A number for the temperature of hot water in the DES in degrees Celsius. (Default: 54).

• name

Text to be used for the name and identifier of the Thermal Loop. If no name is provided, it will be "unnamed".

Outputs

• report

Reports, errors, warnings, etc.

• des_loop

A Dragonfly Thermal Loop object possessing all infrastructure for a District Energy Simulation (DES) simulation. This should be connected to the loop_ input of the "DF Model to GeoJSON" component.
