[TRNSYS-users] Simulating the absorption chiller - hot water storage system

[Martin Ssembatya <mssembatya@gmail.com>]

Hello there,

I am carrying out ma Msc. thesis project involving simulation of a solar cooling system. The system contains an absorption chiller connected to a hot thermal storage tank that receives hot water from solar thermal collectors. I am finding a problem with making a closed loop between the absorption chiller (modeled with type 107) and the storage tank (modeled with type 4a). Every time i try to connect the hot water absorption chiller outlet temperature as the inlet temperature of the cold side of the tank, the system returns unexpected errors (i.e lack of convergence). Am getting stuck on this. Can some one please help me with some information how i can go about this problem.

Thanks in advance

Martin
