Hi all,
I am currently using Type 539 to model a solar thermal collector, and i would need to retrieve the thermal losses and energy stored. Unfortunately there is not such an output from the model.
My collector model has 25 temperature nodes.
I tried defining 25 collectors in series with one node only to be able to retrieve the temperature of each node but the results differ... I have fixed the area, the heat capacity and the test flow rate, but the results differ significantly. I guess this difference is due to temperature levelizing between nodes at periods of standing still, but I have not found that part of the model in the documentation.
I would appreciate any help on how to obtain this information from TRNSYS.
Kind regards,
Oriol Casal
