Re: [TRNSYS-users] Characteristics of 344b

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

Artemi,
 I have just been working with this Type a lot too! The cover is considered to sit directly on top of the water. You could consider modeling the 15cm space as a thermal zone in Type56 but I would be very careful in doing so; there is a very complicated mass/energy balance that may include condensation and runoff on the underside of the cover unless of course you are providing a lot of ventilation underneath that cover.
Best,
 David

Hello trnsys users.
 
I am trying to simulate an open pond that is shaded by a surface placed about 15cm above water surface. Another words, this is a ventilated pond. For this purpose I use the type 344b (open pool).

I would like to ask whether the cover of the pool is considered to be right above water surface. Is the ambient air allowed to blow below the cover and above water surface?
 
Yours sincerely
 
Artemi Spanaki
