Hello every body,
I am modeling an air/water heat pump (type 668 with
appropriate data for air on the evaporator side on the
properties tab of the proforma) along with a solar thermal
collector (type 73). Both of them are connected to a thermal
storage tank (type 531 with 3 nodes) via direct connection and
an immersed heat exchanger respectively. I received the
following 2 errors from TRNSYS:
"TRNSYS Message 103: The TRNSYS TYPE checking routine has
found an inconsistency in the specified component between the
input file and the information expected by the Type
Reported information: An illegal PARAMETER value has been
reported by the model. The model has reported that the
parameter 32 (and 33 for the other error) is the problem - but
this may not be the case. Please check the component
configuration."
I checked the consistency between the size of the heat
exchanger, I selected the coiled tube including 1 node
completely placed in the 3rd node of the storage tank, and the
size of the thermal storage tank node in which the HX is
placed and everything was ok. However, I received the error
again. Then, I guessed that the problem would be the selected
type of the HX. Thus, I selected the serpentine tube to math
the rectangular cross section of the storage tank. It did not
work though. Next, I increased the number of nodes for the HX
to 2 and considered the half of the length of the tube in 2nd
node of the storage tank and the other half in the 3rd node of
the storage tank. It did not work either.
There is another problem as well. On the file properties
related to type 531, reached after clicking on the magic wand
icon, I inserted the desired information and the information
was transferred to the external file. When I open the file
properties again, the inserted data were not available anymore
and they had been replaced by some other random irrelevant
data. If I pressed the ok, all that irrelevant data was
inserted to the external file! Therefore, I have to eddit the
external file itself without the use of the file properties. I
have no idea what the problem is?! First, when I was
only modeling the air/water heat pump connected to the storage
tank, i.e. the number of immersed HX on the file properties
was zero, I did not face such problem.
I am sorry that it became a long message. I needed to explain
everything in detail.
I would deeply appreciate it if anybody could help me
regarding this matter.

Hossein.
