[TRNSYS-users] concrete core cooling modelled with active layer



Dear TRNSYS users,

I am modelling a concrete core cooling (activation of storage mass of slabs) with an active layer (with TRNSYS 16.01).

Relevant data are:

-        distance to edge of the slab: 12cm

-        pipe spacing: 20cm

-        flow mass: 12kg/h.m²

-        Temperature of supply air into the rooms: 19°C

According to the definition of outputs for a surface, the energy abstracted from the room into the slab should be QCOMI and QCOMO (considering both l-wave radiation and convection).

My results are:

-        inlet temperature 19°C, QCOMImax=15W/m²

-        inlet temperature 17°C, QCOMImax=20W/m² (average air temperature in summer: 21°C)

-        inlet temperature 17°C, without cooling of supply air, COMImax=25W/m² (average air temperature in summer: 22°C)

The values I obtain for QCOMI and QCOMO are much lower than the ones obtained in the practice (usually between 40 and 60W/m²).

I tried different variations (simulation time step, distance to the edge of the slab, flow mass and auto-segmentation, internal calculation of convective heat transfer coefficient, number of loops) without success…

Are QCOMI and QCOMO the right outputs?

Thank you for your suggestions,

Olivier Pol.
