Boiler
Boiler in which cold water is stored. In contrast to the situation in which hot water is stored, cooling will increase the density slightly, causing the water in the boiler to slowly sink. Within the software we can generate the average cooling curves, which provides insight into how fast this process goes.
Cold water cooling in boiler
The aim was to simulate the cooling time in a compact boiler. The cooling capacity is modest and the insulation of the boiler is very good. Placing an electric cooler in a boiler can cool the water. Cold water sinks due to its higher density, and causes mixing in the liquid, including through flow reversal. A limit was placed on the cooling time. The cooled liquid must be able to remain cold for a longer period of time, and the application is for consumption purposes.
Dynamic temperature behavior
– Flow data is used in a chain design. Influence of density differences became clear at different starting temperatures Results are achieved quickly and cost-effectively Within the set frameworks, a design was realized that met expectations. From a given starting situation, the dynamic behavior was analyzed until a homogeneous temperature was reached. The boiler was part of a system, and the data from this simulation was used to characterize the chain. This way, the cooling time was achieved within a certain time, and the compact boiler could be placed in the space intended for this purpose. In summary:
- Flow data is used in a chain design.
- Influence of density differences became clear at different starting temperatures
- Results are achieved quickly and cost-effectively
