Samuele,Depending on the configuration of your system, it might also be necessary to put in some kind of device that can remove energy from the fluid loop. With only a concentrator, a pump, and some pipes, you will get a bit of thermal loss from the pipes and concentrator but the fluid temperature is just going to go up and up unless there is some way to extract energy from the loop (a tank, a heat exchanger, etc.)

Dear Samuele, As Jochen suggests, add a pipe on your flow loop. It will add some inertia to the system making it easier to converge at each time step.
