The behaviour of the hot and chilled water production equipment varies depending on the working conditions. As of previous versions, the energy simulation programs of CYPETHERM that used the EnergyPlusTM analysis motor (CYPETHERM HE Plus, CYPETHERM RECS Plus and CYPETHERM EPlus), consider this variation using typical behaviour curves for each type of system that is defined in the “template” objects of EnergyPlusTM.
As of the 2017.j CYPE program version, users can edit behaviour curves of hydronic production equipment (boilers and coolers). For the equipment, users can choose whether to use the default curves or use user-defined behaviour curves. The program offers two options to introduce this data: in a table or as a polynomial curve.
