Re: [TRNSYS-users] Causes of Pump mass balance warning?

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

Fred,
Fundamentally, the only thing that can cause a pump mass imbalance is 
if it is not getting the same flow in as it is putting out. I'd 
recommend putting an online plot into your sim and plotting the flow 
rate coming out of every component in your closed loop. It should be 
pretty easy to spot where the flow is going.
Best,
David
