Dear George, Thank you very much for your information. I have checked your method and it works quite well. Just now, I also noticed that in 2005, Fernando Domínguez Muñoz posted a solution on the TRNSYS forum as following (I attach it below). I also tested it and it works well. It seems that this bug has remained in TRNSYS Type60 for several years. Hope that it will be corrected in the next update version. Thank you again.

Dear all,
modelling a system comprising several water tanks with internal heat
exchangers, I have found the following bug in the source code of TYPE60.
Where says:
(Lines 981-983)
C IF TANK HAS HEAT EXCHANGERS, DETERMINE AND CHECK GEOMETRY
C if((mode5.eq.1.or.mode5.eq.2.or.mode5.eq.3).and.
C & simtime.lt.(time0+delt/2.)) then
should said
C IF TANK HAS HEAT EXCHANGERS, DETERMINE AND CHECK GEOMETRY
C if((mode5.eq.1.or.mode5.eq.2.or.mode5.eq.3) then
,because the array "geom" must be re-calculated at each iteration.
This problem comes out when using several units of TYPE60 with internal
heat exchanger.
In addition, the "pi" number's value is
data pi/3.14159265358979323/, g/9.81/
not
data pi/3.14109265358979323/, g/9.81/
Best regards.

The solution I have found works, but I guess there must be a better one available. What I do is I create a new Type, which is essentially a copy of the original Type and add it to TRNSYS (as if I was developing a type on my own). The number of copies equals the number of same components I want to use. Since they have different type numbers it is impossible for TRNSYS to mix them up. This way everything works flawlessly.
