[TRNSYS-users] The necessity of using pipes in TRNSYS models



Dear TRNSYS users

I am currently trying to model an application using solar collectors to heat water and i realized that when i put pipes in the solar collector loop, i get strange output water temperatures (very low values).

So what i did is that i isolated the solar collector loop and modeled it by itself and the same problem occurs unless i use very small pipes in terms of size.

But if i used a small pipe size i sometimes get the warning that the flow rate the pipe during at least one component was greater than the capacity of the pipe.

has anyone faced trouble with the pipes before? And is using pipes in the model needed from the first place in terms of the model stability?

Thank you
