[TRNSYS-users] U-value glazing
I have a question regarding the thermal properties of external windows.
According to the documentation (6-127) "...the Ug-value at 26.7°C, no
solar radiation and 6.71 m/s windspeed are read and used by Type 56 for
the calculation of the thermal and optical window behavior". The edge
correction is done by calculating the U-value for the glazing edge.
Uedge = cedge,1 + cedge,2 ucentr + cedge,3 u²centr Eq. 6.3.2-94
I did this calculation for window 2001 from the w4-lib and set the
fraction of the frame = 0 for easier control of the results. Having a
fixed room temperature of 20°C and no insolation, TRNSYS 16 produced the
following outputs:
for TA=0°C U=1,66 W/m²K
for TA=15,6°C U=1,54
for TA=26,7°C U=1,58
for TA=37,8°C U=1,62
Doing a calculation of my own with Eq. 6.3.2-94 and using Glass Height:
1079.5 mm,Glass Width 774.7 mm, my result has been 1,72 W/m²K. When
using the data from TA=15,6, and 36,7°C, no insolation, and a windspeed
of 6,71m/s my results were U=1,68 and U=1,83W/m².
Why are the TRNSYS outputs fluctuating with the temperature? How are
they calculated? Are the output values used for the thermal balance of
the zone, too (besides a slightly different surface resistance)?
With best regards,
Bernd.
