I once proposed to define an equation
:
(using the definition from Wikipedia)
tr mean wall
temperature;
ta mean air temperature
ts mean skin temperature
and link it to the building as in the
attached picture.
- In
TRNBuild, add all ‘wall temperatures’ as outputs (yields tri,
for i 1 to n walls)
- Add an
equation to compute
, then T0
Estimate v (wind speed) and ts (skin temperature)
- Connect
the result to a controller which pilots the heating in type 56 in mode « temperature
level control »
But I agree it would be much nicer to have
a switch in type 56 allowing computing based on operative temperature.
I’m not at all an expert in this domain,
but my expert colleagues never contested the approach J
(except for the hint that the mean surface
temperatures should also be scaled depending on the surface area to be precise…).

Dear all,
I
am also interensted in that question.
The
only way I know now how to solve this is by using a type (controller, type 2 or
thermostat, type 8) outside type 56. The the operative zone temperature
must be connected to this type (e.g. 2b and creating a schedule elsewhere, in
an equation solver), and the heating must be defined as a limited power
connected to an input, which is then the output of the control type (type 2 or
type 8).
One
problem with this approach is that I cannot use a very large heating power
anymore, since that causes the controller to switch on and off. Thus the
heating power must be determined using the ideal heating, based on air
temperature, first.
If
there is an easier way, I am also very happy.
Kind
regards,
Sabine

Onderwerp: [TRNSYS-users] Simplified heating and cooling based on
operativetemperature
Dear all,
The simplified heating and cooling in Trnbuild is now comparing the zone
AIR temperature with the given set points. Is there a way to change
this (or another controller model) to have the zone OPERATIVE
temperature compared with the set points?
Kind regards,
Maarten Sourbron
