Measurement of Energy to Produce Domestic Hot Water -Initial Study,

摘要

The availability of residential domestic hot water (DHW) is considered to be a universal requirement. In New Brunswick a steady supply of DHW is provided by electrically heated or oil or propane fired systems. In many other areas of the country natural gas is a very common source of energy. The competitive marketing of the several sources of energy and associated systems results in claims that are totally subjective or based on calculations which in turn are based on assumptions. In order to confirm or deny the claims made, a preliminary research project was begun during the summer of 1978to measure the energy required to produce DHW.
