[TRNSYS-users] Solar Concentration Type 536 and 1288 - Direct Steam

[José María Roca <peperoca@gmail.com>]

Hi colleagues, 

I was looking into those two types to model a direct steam solar concentration system. However those types don’t include the possibility to have a phase change in the working fluid, are there any work arounds?

Perhaps having 2 solar fields with and intermediate flash tank?

It won’t operate in the same way, since the heat transfer in the evaporation zone won’t be modeled, but it is an approach.

What do you think?

Best,
