[TRNSYS-users] Simulation with Type536
Hello, Trnsys users.
I am simulating a solar-cooling system using the Type536 linear parabolic
concentrating collectors. However, I find that the solar fraction of the
system is smaller than that using evacuated tubes or even flat-plate collectors
based on the same aperture area. Is it abnormal? I use the Type16 to
calculate the solar insolation, but the component requires an input for the
slope of the solar collectors, which I cannot find in Type536. Will it cause
serious error in the simulated results if I specify a collector slope only in
Type16? Your reply is highly appreciated. Thank you!
