Re: [TRNSYS-users] Temperature control issue

Charles,

  I'd recommend that you contact your distributor and include your project files as well as a more detailed description of what you mean when you say "it does not seem to work out." Is there an error? Are the results not what you're expecting? The more detail you can provide them with, the better chance they'll be able to help.

kind regards,

 David

Dear TRNSYS users,

 

I am trying to model a solar water heating system (SWHS) based on some data that I have, but I am facing two problems related to the temperature control.

First, I would like the temperature at outlet of the tank (Type 534) to be greater than or equal to the DHW supply temperature measured every hour (which I read using Type9a from a data file).

Second, I know the supply and return temperatures of the radiant floor as well as the flow rate. So I created an equation to model the radiant floor. The equation takes the temperature at HX outlet (Type 534) and subtract what the radiant floor uses in real life to get the return temperature, which is linked to inlet temperature for HX (Type 534). I would like to use a controller so that the return temperature calculated is never below that measured.

I tried different controllers, but it does not seem to work out. Does anyone can help me please?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

 

Charles
