Boilers consume fuel or electricity and produce hot water or steam to serve thermal loads.
Inputs
Rated Capacity
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Boiler | rated_capacity | The maximum heating power capacity of the boiler in MMBtu of heating. Optimal sizing is not recommended or tested for a Boiler. |
Maximum Rated Capacity
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Boiler | max_rated_capacity | The maximum rated heating power capacity of the boiler in MMBtu of heating that a size optimization is allowed to output when doing size optimization. |
Minimum Rated Capacity
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Boiler | min_rated_capacity | The minimum rated heating power capacity of the boiler in MMBtu of heating that a size optimization is allowed to output when doing size optimization. |
Power Source
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Boiler | power_source | What supplies power to the boiler. Either 'electricity', or 'natural gas'. |
COP
| Tag | Key | Description |
| Boiler | coefficient_of_performance | The ratio of thermal power out to power supplied to the boiler, whatever the source. The higher this number is, the more efficient the boiler is. |
