USE OF A COMPUTER MODEL TO EVALUATE ENERGY SAVING POTENTIALS FOR GAS-FIRED FURNACES
要約
DEPAF (DEsign and Performance Analysis of Furnaces) is an NBS computer program for simulation of fossil-fuel-fired furnaces for residential heating systems. It is based upon an analytical model which accounts for cyclic (on-and-off) operation of the burner and air circulating blower. This paper illustrates the use of DEPAF to evaluate quantitatively the effectiveness of 15 combinations of selected energy-saving features for gas-fired residential heating furnaces. Sufficient information is also provided to demonstrate the important features of the simulation program DEPAF.
