Re: [TRNSYS-users] Problem with Type 60

[Jeff Thornton <thornton@tess-inc.com>]

May Kamal Salah,

Did you set a flow rate through the storage as well as the temperature?  Type 60 is unique in that you have to specify outlet flows for (inlet flows - 1) ports.  For this reason, and several other compelling reasons, we have moved away from using Type 60 and have moved this type into the archives.  Most users use Type 4 in the standard library or Type 534 from the TESS Libraries.  534 is an excellent tank model and was recently coded into Energy+ as it’s faster, more accurate, and more flexible then their current tank model.

I have set 10 nodes inside the tank and the inlet temperature of the tank is 18,9 C. There is no variation of the temperature even though i have set as initial temperature of the bottom of the tank 8C.
