It depends a bit on how the pool temperature is controlled. The
Type344 model assumes that the pool is not thermally stratified - so
you need to put a pretty massive amount of energy in to increase the
temperature. If you are controlling pool temperature by turning on and
off a pump and a heater that maintains a supply water temperature,
Type6 is a good choice because it is designed to modulate its energy
input to maintain a flow stream at a set temperature. If you are
sensing pool temperature and turning on and off a heater that always
runs at the same capacity, you might be better off using the boiler
model that is in the TESS HVAC library.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Using Type344, I am
trying to model a heating system that
would maintain a setpoint temperature throughout the year. What
controls
would be the best approach? I have selected Type502 with a Type6
auxiliary heater. I’ve read the details of Type344 that might
suggest a suitable thermostat and heater, and I’m still having trouble.
Anybody
out there whom is well-familiar with Type344 and might offer
recommendations?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
