[TRNSYS-users] Thermal mass in type 56

["Chatchawan Chaichana" <c.chaichana@gmail.com>]

Hi there,
I'm working on a very low temperature storage room project. I'd like to simulate the energy consumption of the refrigeration system that is used to remove heat gain to the room. The refrigeration system will be operated only during the night. There is a mass of concrete inside the room acting as thermal mass. At the end of the night, the concrete temperature  is to be -30C. During the day, the refrigeration system is off, leaving the concrete slap to supply cooling to the room. Yes, it is another demand side management.

At the moment, I'm using Type 56 as the storage room with only one zone (may create other zones later). I'm wondering how can I model the concrete slab inside the room.

Best regards,
Chat
