Analysis and simulation of the circulation pump operation

The operation of the circulation installation has a significant impact on the energy efficiency of the building and it contributes to its reduction. The article refers to the actual measurement data obtained from the measurements of the domestic hot water (DHW) preparation system in a multi-family residential building in Wroclaw. On their basis, various possibilities of controlling the operation of the circulation installation without reducing the comfort of DHW operation system were presented and simulated. The results are illustrated in the form of measurable savings in energy consumption and related costs
