Hi Trnsys-Users,
I would be pleased to
get some detailed information and help for the type 1b.
I wanna simulate a
solar-supplied heating system. In addition to it I use the
type 1b for a solar array. The hole solar array has to be 30
m² tall, compound by 12 panels.
Out of these 12 pieces
are 6 of it in a row. The rows are parallel in the hydraulic
system.
I fixed the system in
Trnsys as followed with one type 1b:
Number in series: 6
Collector area: 4.84 m²
The type doesn’t provide
the expected values.
So I tested some small
projects. I found out, that the number in series doesn’t
have any impact to the useful gains. It doesn’t matter, if I
put the value to 1 or to 100.There is no different.
What’s wrong?
On the other side I used
12 panels and connected them to an array. It worked well and
the output seems to be ok.
Next I only used 1 panel
with 30 m². The useful gains compared with gains out of 12
panels are 10-times more.
Which solution is the
right one?
I use Trnsys 16 and I
can’t update it, because I got it just to do my exam.
Many thanks in advanced
for your help.
