About High and Low Temperature Times

Explains the concept of high and low temperature times.

In the dynamic cooling load calculation settings, you can activate the calculation of high or low temperature times for the year simulation. To do this you enter the reference temperatures for cooling and heating, decide a time profile for the calculation and determine the maximum number of high and low temperature times in compliance with the standards.

Kelvin-hours above/below set point are counted per started hour and per "started" degree. If the Reference temperature cooling is 25°C, two hours (per year) at 26.5°C will result in four Kelvin-hours above set point. . Similarly, two hours (per year) of 17.9°C at a reference temperature of 20°C for a heating case result in a total of six Kelvin-hours below set point.
