Producer
In practice, however, there are often multiple producer units, e.g., boilers with
the same or similar power, or a mixture of different units, e.g., boiler combined
with a solar plant and cogeneration plant (usually with additional storage units).
Logical producer
From the distributor and consumer point-of-view, there is only one single
producer within the supply chain, the logical producer, with exactly one supply
point as the interface to the distribution network. This logical producer knows
nothing about the structure of the distribution network and the connected
consumers. Also, neither the distributor nor the consumer knows whether the
producer consists of one or multiple units.
Distribution components
The distributor or distribution transports the medium within the supply chain. In
this process, energy losses and energy consumption of pumps and fans is to be
kept to a minimum.
Conversion
Conversion (transformation) of the medium, e.g., in a heat exchanger, is
assigned to a supply chain of distribution. A change of temperature (e.g., pre-
control in the heating circuit) is also seen as conversion. Pre-controllers can be
arranged in series (cascading).
Consumers
The following consumers, e.g., belong to the various supply chains:
Supply chain Consumers
Hot water Air treatment and air posttreatment (heating register)
Radiators (radiator, convector)
Floor heating, domestic hot water heating
Cold water Air treatment and air posttreatment (cooling register)
Cooling surface (chilled ceiling)
Air Air posttreatment (dampers)
Electricity HVAC consumers, other consumers
Coordinator and dispatcher
In addition to the three chain links producer, distributor, and consumer, there
are the logical links named coordinator and dispatcher.
