Re: [TRNSYS-users] radiant cooling in TRNSYS



Hello, Enyuan.

We previously developed models for passive and active chilled beams which were
based on interpolation of catalogue data from manufacturers.  The capacities of
the chilled beams are calculated according to the entering chilled water
temperature and the room temperature.  The cooling effects of the chilled beams
are then reflected through a gain type (negative heat gain) in Type56.  A
radiative load ratio is applied to divide the chilled beam capacity into
radiative part and convective part.  You may refer to the reference below:

K.F. Fong, T.T. Chow, C.K. Lee, Z. Lin, L.S. Chan, Solar hybrid cooling system
for high-tech offices in subtropical climate – Radiant cooling by absorption
refrigeration and desiccant dehumidification, Energy Conversion and Management,
52(1), 2883-2894, 2011.
