Abstract

The energy efficiency of gas-burned boilers in space heating systems is sensitive to how the boiler is controlled. This study is aimed to investigate how the overall energy performance of a heating system can be optimized using best boiler control scheme. This is to be achieved through experimental studies and simulation studies. This paper presents the latter. A simplified boiler is proposed and integrated in a heating system modeling platform for the simulation study. The results show that the boiler in a heating system should be controlled according to the heating load in order to achieve the highest long-term energy efficiency while maintaining desired comfort.
