Re: [TRNSYS-users] Adding a water layer for cooling the roof

Artemi,
  I would think that your approach of writing an external model that couples with Type56 in order to assess the impact of your wetted roof is the correct one. I would imagine that the model would couple to the building using a BOUNRARY wall much like the user-written Type204 phase change material wall or the TESS Library Ground Coupling components do. I am not aware of any way to use standard components to model the evaporatively cooled roof and couple it to the building.

  I am also not aware of whether anyone has tried running TRNSYS on Windows 7. I am personally waiting for Windows 7 to be out for at least 3 months before I try it!!
Kind regards,
 david



 Dear Trnsys users

 

I created a new component in Fortran that is adjusted to the roof of the building for passive cooling. The component is consisted of a layer of a wet gunny bag, a layer of water and a layer of concrete (conventional roof).

 

Since the results that I get do not seem to be very reasonable, I wonder if there is an alternative way to simulate the system. Is there any way to add a layer of water in the roof of a building for cooling purposes, using the components of TRNSYS library?

 

I would also like to ask you whether the TRNSYS 16.1 edition is cooperate with new windows 7.

 

Yours faithfully
