Re: [TRNSYS-users] type680 COP_rated



Dear Mehdi,

 

I agree with you – Type 680 is a mystery; a comment from David/Matt/Jeff would be appreciated. Type 107 – the hot water fired single effect chiller was written in 2001, later edited in 2004; but the discussion on Type 680 I found on the web is much later. Wonder what the differences are between these two. In any case, I do not have Type 680 in my TESS library either.

 

On the COP issue - just to clarify: there are two COP terms in the nomenclature of the absorption chiller documents – (i) COPRated  & (ii) COP (for the device).

 

(i)                  The rated COP (used in equation 679.4) that we supply to the model as a parameter is just thermal as you said. I have highlighted in the attached document for steam-fired chiller as an example.

(ii)                However, the model calculates the actual COP of the device based on equation 679.9 & provides as an output. As per the documentation, this COP value considers the QAux. I also confirmed that the code matches the documentation.

 

CALCULATE THE RESULTANT COP OF THE MACHINE

IF((QAUX+QSTEAM).GT.0.) THEN

            COP=QCHW/(QAUX+QSTEAM)

                           ELSE

                              COP=0.

Dear Emilia

 

First of all, I could not find type 680 in TESS.

Any way all the models of absorption chillers have some similar approaches. It means that the cop exactly is the provided cooling divided by used heat.

Please be aware that in the Qaux is not taken into account in the cop equation (as it should not be considered based on the open literature).

 

I checked this through the Fortran code of Types 676 to 679 and 107. You can do the same. Also you can find it in TESS documentation related to each type.

But the question is still unsolved that TESS ver 17 does not have type 680!

 

Hope it helps

Mehdi

Dear Ratnalee,

Thank you for the explanation. I believed so, but it was not clear from TRNSYS documentation.

 

The type680 si located in HVAC TESS library under single-effect absorption chiller hot-water fired.

 

Best regards,

Emilia Visek

Emilia,

 

For the absorption chiller models I believe the rated COP to be supplied as a parameter is thermal COP (Qcooling output/Qheat input to generator). In the COP output from the chiller model however, the electricity consumed by the chiller for the operation (for pumps etc.) is taken into consideration based on the auxiliary electric power (Qaux) supplied as one of the parameters. Thus the output COP = Qcooling output/(Qheat input to generator + Qaux).

 

By the way, where is this Type 680 located? I am aware of Types 676 to 679, Type 681, and Type 107 for absorption chillers.

 

Thanks.

Dear all,

The COPrated from type680, is thermal or electrical COP?

Thank you,

EV
