[Equest-users] Hot Water Usage Percent

[Sefa Şahin]

Hi Nick,

For example: the annual ground water temperature is 60 F , delivery 
temperatures of SHW equipment is 120 F and the mixed fixture outlet 
temperature is 104 F. In this case, hot water percent is 73.3, cold 
water percent is 26.7. Is it true?
Our proposed design uses the heating hot water boilers to provide 
service hot water through a heat exchanger. Baseline case uses gas-fired 
water heater with storage tank. How can we calculate percent of hot 
water or cold water When delivery temperatures of proposed and baseline 
case are different? Additionally, How can we adjust Baseline service 
water storage temperature ?

Thank you for helping,
