Re: [TRNSYS-users] Combined paralle and series collector array with different orientation



<I'm new with TRNSYS, so I want to simulate system for heating DHW in a hotel using solar thermal collectors(flat plate). The difficult is that there are 5 collectors parallel connected  (each 2m2, south-west orientated, tilted 30 degrees)  and then they're serial connected to another 2 collectors(each 2,5 m2 which are parallel connected between them, south orientated, tilted 40 degrees). Again this array is in parallel connected with exactly  the same  array of collectors. Can someone give me directions hot to define the solar collector array in the simulation?>

 

I followed your e-mail until the line: "Again this array is in parallel connected with exactly  the same  array of collectors"  Can you provide a simple sketch of the collector array so we can help you set the collector parameters?
