[TRNSYS-users] Heat losses in horizontal storage tank



Dear TRNSYS users,

I would like to ask a question about Type 533: Horizontal Cylindrical Storage Tank With Immersed Heat Exchanger.

My question is: how are the heat losses computed, given that the difference between "top", "edge" and "bottom" are not so clear in a horizontal tank, in contrast with a vertical tank? The documentation is not very clear in this regard. Actually, the information about heat losses is exactly the same for vertical and horizontal tanks.

Regards,

Adrian Riebel
