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.

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.
