Re: [TRNSYS-users] How to set up periodically heating of water tank?

[Jeff Thornton <thornton@tess-inc.com>]

Janus,

Use a Type 14 forcing function to set the time window in which the tank is allowed to be heated.  Then use an equation and multiply the output of the forcing function by the output of the controller and feed that result to the heating element.
