Sir we have connected the pumps and the differential controller in our model and also our simulation results got better and now we are getting the outlet temperature between the desired range but we were not able to connect thermostat/ aquastat . Can you please let us know how should we connect it in the model?
What does an aquastat or thermostat do? It senses something and then sends a signal somewhere. In this case you'd be sensing the tank temperature and turning on and off the heat pump and it's associated pump to keep the tank temperature within your target zone.
Also we need to find out efficiency and energy consumption of the system how should we proceed with that?
How would you do it in real life? You'd record it over time. Try the Printegrator model.
