IfcBoilerType

Definition from IAI: The element type IfcBoilerType defines a list of commonly shared property set definitions of a boiler and an optional set of product representations. It is used to define a boiler specification (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type).

> NOTE: The product representations are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct, which get assigned by an element occurrence instance through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item[1] being an IfcMappedItem.

A boiler type is used to define the common properties of a boiler that may be applied to many occurrences of that type. A boiler is a device which converts stored energy to heat which is added to a fluid; typically used to heat water. Boiler types may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcBoilerType are represented by instances of IfcEnergyConversionDevice or its subtypes.
