Fahri, This is a problem in actual heat pump systems, not a problem in your simulation. I have seen two approaches. You can either store very hot water (60C or so) in the tank and then use valves to mix some of the water that returns from the floors with some of the hot water that is being stored in the tank (supplied by the heat pump) so that the actual supply temperature is lower than the stored water temperature (maybe 28C). Or you can store water in the tank at your distribution (supply) temperature of 28C. In this case, a thermostat sits watching the tank temperature and turns on the heatpump when the tank drops below the set point. Of course the heat pump still delivers 60C water to the tank but it then turns off as soon as the thermostat in the tank sees that the temperature has risen back above 28C Best, David On 6/27/2012 10:06, Fahri Avci wrote:
