Re: [TRNSYS-users] Type16 outputs + Type536 inputs

Jose,

Type 16 does indeed output the azimuth of the collector surface.  It’s a cycled output with the number of surfaces and is in the same block with the incidence angle and collector slope.

For example por a parabolic through with N-S axis the surface aperture azimuth would be facing east (90º) before noon and facing west (270º) after noon. But this input must be given to the type from an equation since the type16 does’t have the surface azimuth as output. Any work around different than this one?
