Re: [TRNSYS-users] Troubleshooting a fan coil system connected to a ground heat exchanger.

In my attempt to simulate a simple heating system including the type
997 “ground heat exchanger” and the type 137 “fan coil unit”,
I encountered some problems which I will explain below.
 	* The ground heat exchanger didn’t seem to have any effect on the
water’s temperature (inlet and outlet temps where plotted and found
equal). The water exits the fan coil then enters the exchanger to
reject or gain heat and then re-enters the coil to condition the air
flowing through the coils. Shouldn’t I see some temperature change
in that cycle of the water?

You don't have a pump to move fluid from the ground heat exchanger to the fan coil unit. Like the real-life system, you need to circulate water to be able to move energy between the devices...
