Definition of mixed equipment for heating and DHW using an assistant

The "Assistant for the definition of air conditioning systems" includes the "With the production of DHW" option for hot water generation equipment and systems.

When this option is activated, the step: “DHW system” appears in thein the index sequence of the assistant. Upon reaching this step, the assistant shows the operating characteristics for DHW production of the previously defined hot water production equipment. In the case of water heating systems, the user must choose a boiler that will produce the DHW. The properties of the panel are recalculated automatically.

Users can edit the values proposed by the assistant if he has more precise data, and even use the new assistant to calculate the average seasonal boiler performance (blue arrow icon). At the end of the assistant sequence, an ACS system with the characteristics of the defined equipment will be created automatically. 

The configuration of the DHW system that has been created by the assistant depends on the option that has been selected previously in the "Daily DHW Demand" in the “General Parameters”. If "Total demand of the building" has been selected, a single DHW system will be created that supplies the entire building, regardless of the number of production systems that have been created with the assistant. On the other hand, if "Demand by zones" has been selected, a DHW system will be created that serves the same zones as the defined air conditioning system using how water. With this option activated, if the option "Add a production system by zone" is selected in the assistant, the corresponding ACS system by zone will be created.
