Re: [TRNSYS-users] TYPE 109 in tracking mode

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

Ricardo,
  I would guess that in tracking mode, the slope and azimuth become the slope and azimuth of the axis instead of the slope and azimuth of the surface. This does not hold true for the "vertical axis tracking" case in which the slope and azimuth are irrelevant.

  I would also suggest that if you are using TRNSYS 17 or even a late release of Trnsys16 use Type15 instead of Type109. A number of issues were identified with Type109 and our strong recommendation is that you use Type15 instead. Type109 is considered obsolete in Trnsys17.
Kind regards,
 David

Hi everybody.
I am trying to use type 109 in tracking mode, but i do not know what values to input for the azimuth and tilt  of the surface. The  "more" tab  says "refer to the abstract " as to what values to put, but  I do not know what abstract they refer, and the manuals don' t say anything on this.
can anybody please help me?
Thank you in advance.
Ricardo Gallegos
