(Equivalent full load operating hours)
- Minimum effective electrical efficiency
(See the technical manual for the definition of the effective efficiency)
6.8.3.2. Summary of simulation results
- Effective operating hours
- Effective electrical efficiency
- Utilisation ratio fu of generated heat
(fu < 1 indicates, that the amount 1-fu of the useful generated heat is dissipated to the ambient within the exhaust gas or by a cooling tower)
- Maximum possible heating power (in kW) by temperature for obtaining the minimum number of yearly operating hours
