I have a question regarding water-draw profile. It seems that this component can get a fixed profile for 24 hrs and it can’t be changed during the year. I am currently working with bcd files that provide hourly data for DHW load. Is there any way I can use bcd file as my DHW load in the plant instead of water-draw profile?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>--<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Sara Nikoofard<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Room C254A, Department of Mechanical Engineering, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>Phone: (902)494-3165<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Consolas'>email: <a href="mailto:s.nikoofard@dal.ca">s.nikoofard@dal.ca</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
