Re: [TRNSYS-users] Radiation problem with Type 942

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Jakob,
  Looking at the source code for Type942, it would appear that the sky temperature is part of the top loss correlation used by the component. Can you please send your project to your distributor so that they can have a look and see if they can determine the cause of the problem?
Kind regards,
 David

Hi everybody,

I try to simulate a solar collector that passes IR radiation through the single cover. Therefor I use type 942 with Parameter 11 (transmittance of cover) = 0.5.
The plots show that T_outlet is not influenced by T_sky at all which can't be right.
Has anyone had similar problems with this type? Did the type work well for other purposes?

Thanks in advance,

Jakob
