Re: [TRNSYS-users] REFPROP and TRNSYS

[David Bradley <bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Hal,
  There was a connection between TRNSYS 15 and REFPROP  although it was never (to the best of my knowledge) part of the official package.  The connection was built on the concept of Type61 (calling external DLLs ) and a piece of code called refprop.for. It also required a REFPROP license (and the corresponding REFPROP.dll). I imagine that the connection could probably be revived for TRNSYS 16. I notice on the NIST website that you can purchase the REFPROP (Fortran) sourcecode so I am not entirely sure what the advantage there is to the previous implementation of calling the REFPROP DLL.
Kind regards,
 David

I would like to use REFPROP to calculate the fluid properties while using TRNSYS.  I understand this is possible but I could not find a reference that tells me how.

 

Is there any place where I can find information on using REFPROP from within TRNSYS?
