Re: [TRNSYS-users] regarding changes in components input output



Mayank,
  I would imagine that the required area would change depending on how much sun there is at any given point in time. Since it is not possible to change the collector array constantly in an actual built system, normally the way a simulation would be carried out is to do some hand (or Excel) calculations to determine the area required at a predefined solar condition (maybe at peak solar availability, maybe some average solar availability) and then to run the simulation with that area. If the hand/Excel calculations aren't working, you could do trial and error - choose an area and see if it meets the absorption machine's requirements. If not, increase the area.
Best,
 David

Sir,

I am working on Modeling of Solar vapor absorption. In this case if I calculate the generator heat required in Type 107 absorption chiller for specific capacity of chiller and useful heat from the collector for unit area then I can calculate the required area to completely offset the absorption chiller from electricity to solar energy for year around. Please guide me in this context. I have already done this analytically in excel but there I couldn’t get exact result.

Thank you.

Mayank

Mayank,
  In order to add an output to a component, you need to modify the Type's source code and recompile the TRNDll using a Fortran compiler. Actually changing an input variable to an output variable is a fairly complex procedure because by definition, the component's performance depends on its input values. In this case, the performance of your collector depends on the collector area. If you want to change the area from an input to an output, you also need to figure out how you are going to calculate the collector performance without without knowing the collector area in advance.
Best,
 David

Hello everyone,

I am working on solar vapor absorption machine. For this I have to make some changes in TYPE 73 FPC input output. I need collector area in output. How can I change input to output please help me out.

 

Thank you
