Re: [TRNSYS-users] TRNSYS - External data file type 107 - Help required



Dear Atta Ullah Sanai,

I typically make all of my external files in Microsoft Excel with the manufacturer's data, so I can copy/paste/transpose the data. Sometimes, I make a macro to put the data in the correct external data file format. Please see the "04-MathematicalReference.pdf" documentation for Type107 and the documentation of the data file format for 'InterpolateData' in the "07-ProgrammersGuide.pdf"  for more information about this.

Please keep in mind that the default data set with Type107 is normalized, so you might be able to set your rated capacity and COP parameters and use that as a starting point.
Please read this for more info about normalized data.

Dear Matt,
               Thanks for your response. I am still confused. Do I have to make the external file by manually editing the example external file available as per my requirements? How can I have the required output values for the external file by using my own input values if I am able to find them from a manufacturer. In short, how can you generate an external file?  Kindly help me out. Thanks

Regards,
Atta Ullah Sanai

Dear Atta Ullah Sanai,

Thank you for contacting TESS Technical Support and providing your institutional information. Type107 only takes a specific set of performance data. There are a few different TESS Chiller models in the TESS Cogeneration and TESS HVAC Libraries as well that might fit the particular performance data of that model. Also, no source code compiling is necessary for the external performance data of these components. Also, I highly recommend that you read through the thread "Type 666 Chiller Queries" on the following page for excellent insight about the chiller models.

Dear Sir,
            We are working on a project to simulate a solar powered vapour absorption cooling system using TRNSYS 17. We are using type 107 for single effect absorption chiller and are having problems in creating an external file.
            Our problem is that we are confused how to generate an external file as per our input values and requirements. We are working with a Thermax LT-6 200 kW absorption chiller. Do we need to compile the source code file to generate the external file.
            Moreover, how can we find the input values required as they are not given by most manufacturers.

Kindly help with this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.
