Dear Sabine, It is hard for me to
imagine a situation where an adiabatic boundary to an active layer makes any
sense? Since an active floor wil
generate heat flows up and down, which usually are not identical (due to the
position of the active layer in the floor, but also due to floor covering and
different convective heat transfer coefficients), you usually need to model a dummy
zone and simulate both heat flows. Could this be a solution to your
problem? Kind regards, Arie Van: Sabine Jansen -
BK [mailto:S.C.Jansen@tudelft.nl] Dear all, Does anyone have experience with simulating an adiabatic
boundary for a wall or floor with an active layer? Usually I define an adiabatic wall with boundary -
identical. But for a wall with gains (from sun or TABS) this results in heat
transfer from the back surface of the wall as well, since the floor is warmer
than the zone and the identical temperature is equal to the zone temperature. I hope someone knows how this can be done for active floors! Thanks in advance, Kind regards, Sabine Jansen |
