Re: [TRNSYS-users] Fluid Properties



Javier,

  If you need properties from the fluids that are not in the FluidProperties() routine then you would need to add them by modifying the Fluids.f90 source code file and then to recompile the TRNDll using a Fortran compiler.

  Before you try to modify that file, however, I'd like to understand a bit more about the heat pump model that you want to write. For a number of reasons, TRNSYS's heat pump models (primarily in the TESS HVAC Library) rely on a catalog data lookup approach instead of being first principals models. By looking up the capacity and COP at certain operating conditions the models do not rely on the refrigerant properties, which makes for a more flexible and easy to implement model. If you'd like to send me an email directly, please feel free to do so. With a little more explanation about what you're looking for in a heat pump model I may be able to give you some additional direction.

kind regards,

 David

Hello TRNSYS users,

I'm looking forward to program my own heat pump Type component. I was checking on the programmer's guide to get familiar with FORTRAN (first time I'm going to write in this) and the different functions in general.

For now, all is OK except for the refrigerants listed in the Fluid Properties. Preferably, I would like to simulate a heat pump using R410a, which doesn't seem to be in the refrigerants available. What are my options?

Thank you very much,
