Re: [TRNSYS-users] Moisture transfer with the exterior

["Matt Duffy" <duffy@tess-inc.com>]

Dear Matteo,

External climate does indeed have an effect on moisture balance in Type56 via the infiltration rate (constant or an input). You are correct that moisture does not transfer through the wall model in Type56. You can also appy moisture as a Gain in TRBuild.

Best regards,

Matt Duffy

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] Moisture transfer with the exterior

Dear All,

I’m dealing with moisture transfer issues through porous building elements. I aim to simulate this topic with Type 56.

As you know T.56 does not model any moisture transfer with the exterior, so external climate has no effect on moisture balance within a thermal zone.

Is there any dedicated Type or trick in order to carry out this calculation in parallel with heat transfer?

Regards,
