Analysis Model for Domestic Hot Water Distribution Systems: Preprint

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

A thermal model was developed to estimate the energy losses from prototypical domestic hot water (DHW) distribution systems for homes. The developed model, using the TRNSYS simulation software, allows researchers and designers to better evaluate the performance of hot water distribution systems in homes. Modeling results were compared with past experimental study results and showed good agreement.
