Re: [TRNSYS-users] Question

Senne,
  Typically the way this would be accomplished is to connect the flow from Type60's outlet to the active layer fluid inlet temperature and mass flow rate via a pump and to turn the pump on and off based on the control signal of a thermostat that watches the zone temperature (Type108 would be a good choice for the thermostat model). The tank would then be kept warm separately by some kind of heater. Type60 has a thermostat and heater built into it if you want to use an electric or gas element. Take a look at parameters 15 through 29. If you are heating the tank by external means (a solar collector, a heat pump, etc.) then Type2 is probably the correct choice but it should look at the tank bottom temperature and the outlet temperature of the heating device.
Kind regards,
 David

Dear all,
 
I recently start using trnsys16, now I have to implement a house that has
an active layer in the floor and in the ceiling. To supply the heating I added
a thermal storage (type60t) that is connected to the actieve layer and the
heating in trnbuild.
 
Now I want to control this heating or storage tank, I want to turn off the heating
when the temperature rises above a certain value, because above this value it is
not necessary to produce heat. I thought I had to do it with type2 but it doesn't
seem to work. Is there a way to shut the heating off in these periods? Or am I
doing something wrong with my parameters and inputs? I follow this procedure:
 
Upper input temperature=25
Lower input temperature I connect with the temperature of a thermal zone
Monitoring temperature=0
Upper dead band = 5
Lower dead band=0
The output control function I connect with the input of the heating
 
 
Kind Regards,
 
Senne
