Dear Karol, I have to confess that this is a little confusing. For better understanding of the differences of QSOLTR and QTSABS it is important to understand the considered “parts”. QSOLTR is the total shortwave solar radiation transmitted through all external windows
including shading device into the airnode. Then in the airnode this radiation is distributed to surfaces (taking into reflection). (For simplicity reasons we assume that there are no adjacent windows).
As a results QSOLTR is either a) immediately transferred as convective heat gain to the internal air (= Qsolair, doesn’t exist in Trnsys 17) or is b) absorbed by walls or b) is absorbed by windows (panes, frame and internal shading devices) as radiation leaves (!) the airnode to the outside or c) is transmitted to the outside (= QTSOUT, NType 73) QTSABS (NType 75) consists of
Thus, QSOLTR and QTSABS consider different parts of the solar radiation. I assume you are looking something like QSOLTR – QTSOUT. I hope this explanation helps. Kind regards, Marion Von: Karol Bandurski <karol.bandurski@put.poznan.pl>
Dear Christoph, Thank you for your response! The problem is that, it seems to me, that I don’t have internal shading, so QSOLTR should equal QTSABS. Am I right? How should I set window type and external devices to get QSOLTR=QTSABS? Kind regards, From: hotline [mailto:hotline@Transsolar.com]
Dear Karol, QSOLTR is the total shortwave solar radiation transmitted through external windows
and internal shading. QTSABS also includes the secondary heat flux which includes the convection of internal shader. Hope that clarifies your energy balance a bit. Best, Christoph Von: TRNSYS-users <trnsys-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org>
Im Auftrag von Karol Bandurski via TRNSYS-users Dear All, I am going to find whole solar gain which come to zone throug windows. There are two outputs that I consider: QTSABS and QSOLTR. It seems to me that bigger should be QSOLTR, because it is shortwave radiation transmitted through window (but not kept 100% in air node). The QTSABS is what exactly has been kept - has been absorbed by inside surfaces. But it is appear that QTSABS > QSOLTR… Could you write me what is right interpretation of those outputs?
