Re: [TRNSYS-users] thermosyphon
Dear David,
I do not know of any type that simulates the thermosyphon system with
two fluids.
If I understand correctly, you would need to model the heat exchanger
between the two fluids. You can modify the source code of Type45: the
component calculates the pressure drop through the pipes connecting from
the solar collector to the tank, and calculates a force balance in order
to ensure that it can create the flow. You could modify the call to
the stratified tank and add the calculation of the pressure drop through
the internal heat exchanger at the same time that calculates the heat
transfer to the fluid in the tank.
Please let me know if you want to follow this strategy. I will be glad
to help you if you have problems writing the component.
Best regards,
Diego

Dear all,
I would like to model a thermosyphon system which has different fluids
in the collector and the tank, so I can not use Type 45. Does anyone
know about a type that simulates the performance of a thermosyphon
having two different fluids, one for the collector and other in the tank?
Thanks in advance
Regards.
David
