METHODS FOR DETERMINING A VOLUME OF LIQUID AT A PREDETERMINED TEMPERATURE, FOR CALCULATING QUANTITIES OF THERMAL ENERGY, AND FOR DETERMINING A PROFILE OF HOT WATER CONSUMPTION

摘要

This method for determining a volume (V(T p )) of liquid at a predetermined temperature (T p ) within a storage tank, the tank being provided with at least two temperature sensors each supplying a temperature value, consists in calculating the volume of liquid (V(T p )) at the predetermined temperature (T p ) by means of a formula using at least one polynomial (P 1 , P 2 ) of order greater than or equal to two, having, as input variables, temperature values supplied by the temperature sensors, and being expressed, as a function of these input variables, with a set of constant coefficients.
