Re: [TRNSYS-users] Heating Coil: Type 670-1 bug



Fred,
 I think you might be confusing efficiency and effectiveness. Effectiveness is actual energy transfer divided by maximum theoretically possible energy transfer. The air and water side heat transfers need to be equal or else there is an energy imbalance across the coil.
Best,

All,

 

There appears to be a bug in the Type 670-1 heating coil.

 

I set the effectiveness of the coil to 0.70, but the air and water side heat transfer rates are approximately equal.

 

Anyone have a fix?
