[TRNSYS-users] Buffer storage humidity model



Dear All,

 

I am trying to evaluate the buffering effect of porous clay plaster on internal humidity variations. A search of the list archive has drawn a blank on this topic, so perhaps someone can shed some light on my queries.

 

In the Type 56 manual, why is the mass of the surface buffer calculated using twice the buffer thickness (Eq.6.4.3-10)? Is there a reason for doubling the construction mass for moisture storage calculations?

The Buffer Storage Example uses double the penetration depth to calculate the surface buffer mass, as expected from Eq.6.4.3-10, but then uses the actual layer depth to calculate the mineral wool mass in the deep buffer – any explanations for this apparent discrepancy?

The deep buffer mass in the example includes the surface buffer mass - is this correct?

Finally, can anyone comment on the validity of the typical surface exchange coefficient per m2 (Eq.6.4.3-11) when walls have a porous clay plaster finish?

 

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

 

Regards,
