Re: [TRNSYS-users] Variable solar absorption coefficient and long waive emissivity in TRNSYS



Dear Marco,

 

unfortunately, the solar absorption as well as the long wave emissivity coefficients of opaque surfaces can’t be changed during the simulation currently.

If you want to vary the coefficients on the outside face of an external wall, you may use the following “workarounds”:

  • Instead of modifying the solar absorptance you can modify the absorbed solar radiation by varying the external shading factor for a wall.
    (Note: the external shading factor influences the incident solar radiation not the longwave radiation exchange)
  • Instead of modifying the outside emissivity of an external wall you set the outside emissivity to 0 and calculate the energy gain/loss to longwave radiation exchange with the environment “manually” by equations and link the value as “surface gain outside” to the surface.
    The equations for the longwave radiation exchange outside are given in 05-MultizoneBuilding.pdf  Eq. 5.4.1-13 and
    Eq. 5.4.1-14

 

The draw back of the “workaround” is that you have to do this for each surface. Doing this by a “construction type” is of course much more comfortable.

Well, it doesn’t seems hard to implement this as a “new feature”.  Are you interested in varying the values on the inside face of the outside face of a wall?

 

Best regards,

 

Marion

Betreff: [TRNSYS-users] Variable solar absorption coefficient and long waive emissivity in TRNSYS

 

Dear TRNSYS-users mailing list,

 

I would like to kindly ask you how is possible to implement the variable absorption characteristic of walls in TRNSYS. When using TRNSYS and TRBUILD, fixed solar absorption and long waive emissivity are allowed to be set when defining a wall layer. How do you managed the necessity to give variable (with the surface temperature) values of such parameters?

 

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

 

Best regards

 

Marco Noro
