Re: [TRNSYS-users] type 557a



Max,
  I put it on our list of things to look at; unfortunately in the short term, I don't think there is anything that can be done about it. You can use it to look at daily losses as a function of the time of year but looking at hourly losses seems to be something that it can't do at the moment.
Kind regards,
 David

Dear Matt,

Thanks for the answer, do you have any solution for this problem? Our problem is that we are interrested in analysing the losses for specific periods of time such as comparing day and night. Is there anything we can do??
Thanks

Max,
 I think  Type557 has a reporting problem. At my colleague Jeff's suggestion, I ran your simulation out for 5 years. After about two years, it reaches more or less steady state at which point I started integrating the amount of energy that I was putting into the ground (mCp(Tin-Tout)) and the amount of losses from the top sides and bottom. The difference between the two is small and equal to the storage internal energy change. I am not sure why Type557 only reports the losses once every 18 hours. Jeff thinks it may have to do with the frequency at which the solution for a single bore is superimposed on the total bore field and then how often that solution is superimposed upon the far field.
Kind regards,
 David

Dear all,

We just produced a small project in order to show the effect. Pay attention to the plots. and the period of the appearance of the losses.

Thanks to all

Max,
 Could you send us the project that you are working from so that we can take a look at it?
Thanks

Dear Matt,

The  problem ist not tracing the inputs, outputs and parameters. We have been trying to debug the component
and have encountered the problem explained before:

" While simulating with the type 557a (Ground Heat Exchanger (TESS)) I
discouverd that the heat losses of the earth control volume to the
sides, top and bottom (Outputs: 5,6,7) are generating a peak in a
constant period (roughly 27 hours) while the rest of the time these
outputs are zero. What I actually want is an output of the losses in
every timestep. Does anyone have an idea what is actually calculated by
these outputs? Is there an error in the code?"

The problem is that the type is quite commplicated and hence we are not able to completely understand the code!
But the results we get seem to be wrong if ever our interpretation of the results in the online plotter are correct!
The losses to all sides (top, bottom and side) are 0 for nearly all the time, only for 1 timestep (after a period off roughly 27 hours) it get a value. We have tried to understand the timestep handeling in the code, which (if we understood well!!) seems to convert the unit hours of the main soubroutine into seconds for the other soubroutines used, and we suspect that there might be a mistake somewhere in the treatment of the losses with the different time units! But as mentioned we are not sure and we are no experts either !
Maybe some of you colleages may have an idea,

Sorry for bothering !

Thanks

max
