With the release of eQUEST 3.63b we are given the option to model
Condensing Gas-Fired Boilers for hot water heating. However, domestic hot
water can still only be modeled by simplistic DW Heaters which have
options only for Electric, Gas, & Steam.
Would it make sense to just model the DHW loop as a HW loop with a process
load equal to the service hot water demand or is there some fundamental
reason why a hot water loop shouldn't be used as a domestic loop in
eQUEST?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks.
