[TRNSYS-users] Type 534 HX Parameter Clarification

[Jason Ng Cheng Hin <jason.ngchenghin@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I would like some clarification on how TRNSYS uses the HX sizing parameters for Type 534. 

For the "Number of tubes" parameter, the documentation explains: The number of identical tubes comprising the heat

exchanger. Does this mean it takes the length of tube you inputted in the previous parameter (Tube Length) and divide it by the number of tubes or does it multiply the length by the number of tubes?

Also, when I try putting a tube length greater than 100m in the plugin, it always changes it back to what it was before. Is this normal? is there a reason why there is a limit of 100m? (I realize its an abnormally long tube...) 

Thanks,

Jason
