This component primarily appears in large-scale systems, but is also found, for example, in solar heating networks.

This chapter describes the components that only occur in large-scale systems or otherwise differ from those in standard systems. The remaining components are explained in chapters 10.1 to 10.10.

The following types of DHW supply are simulated for large-scale systems:

In the first case, the DHW standby tank is connected to the heated buffer tank via an external heat exchanger, while in the other cases, the buffer tank is only loaded by solar power, and the auxiliary heating directly supplies the DHW tank.
