Hot water production

Enters domestic hot water production equipment into the water supply system.

When entering or editing DHW production equipment, the following parameters can be configured. Some parameters only appear if the "Simplified entry" option, which can be found in "Calculation options" under "General options", is deactivated:

• Reference
  Element reference. This value can be locked or unlocked. If unlocked, the program will create or modify the reference when updating the results.
• Reference of the hot water production equipment
  The type of DHW production equipment can be selected by its reference. These types can be created and edited by means of "Design and check options to be carried out", which can be found in "General options", in the "Project" group.
• General data
  Defines the general data of the element. Some of these values can be locked or unlocked. If a value is locked, when updating the results it is not modified but remains unchanged.
