Re: [TRNSYS-users] Trnsys 'counter'

I am not sure that Type93 will work in this case - it holds on to an input value for a set amount of time and then releases it. If I understand correctly, you want to hold on to a particular temperature value until such time as that value changes by more than 3? After that, what does the controller do? What causes the pump to turn off again? If you are trying to turn on the pump once a temperature difference gets to 3K, I think that the simple Type2 differential controller might work. It simply compares two values and makes a decision based on their difference.

Hi Farah,
 
you can use an input value recall (type 93, to be found in utility, amonsgt the general types) to do so ....

Hello,
I am trying to build a controller which switches a pump on every 3-Kelvin temperature increase. So the pump operates depending on the temperature increase and is independant of time.
till now i havent been able to figure out a way to store or 'recall' previous intermediate or output values within an Equation in order to achieve something like a 'counter' variable to which i can keep adding the temperature difference until its value reaches 3 or more.

Is there a way to do that in trnsys and how?

Thanks,
Farah
