Jochen,

We've just updated our evalcuated tube model (bi-axial IAM's) to include
capacitance effects - plus it allows you to control the model to deliver a
constant outlet temperature (if so desired).  The model will be in the
next release of the TESS solar library but may be purchased separately
beforehand.  Check out TRNSYS.com for details on the model (Type 965) or
e-mail me privately and we can discuss the model.
