Welcome to the TRNSYS Users Forum.
The forum is a place where people can interact and have discussions about different topics involving the use of the TRNSYS software package. Here you can post topics for discussion or questions on using TRNSYS and get advice from other users or TRNSYS experts. This forum is not intended for detailed technical support. Users should contact their distributor’s hotline for such assistance.
Some tips for success on using the forum:
- Follow the Forum Rules posted in Forum Administration.
- There are categories for different types of topics and questions. Post your topic or question into the proper category.
- Before posting a topic or question search the existing topics (and the TRNSYS Users listserv archive or Post archive) to see if a similar topic or question has already been answered.
- Use a descriptive topic name. Don’t use attention getting subjects, they don’t get attention and only annoy people.
- State the version of TRNSYS and which add-ons your are using.
- Include enough specific details for your topic of question to be answered. Just posting “Why am I getting an error?” without describing the specific error and what you are trying to do when you get the error will not receive a response that fixes your issue.
- Remember when people help you, they are doing you a favor. Be patient, help people out by posting good descriptions of what you need help with, and be polite even if a response does not solve your issue.
- Moderators may edit your post for clarity or move your topic to a more appropriate category.
Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if there is a specific type available in TRNSYS for modeling a hydrogen boiler for heating, as an alternative to a gas boiler?
Thank you in advance for your help!
@sm Virk, please bear in mind that this is intended to be a forum where users can share questions, ideas, and solutions amongst themselves. If you are looking for technical support on a specific question, I would recommend contacting your distributors' hotline directly.
To your question though, most of the boiler models in TRNSYS are not fuel specific; they instead ask for generic efficiency parameters and report the amount of source energy required to provide the required amount of heating. You can then use the required source energy and your fuel's higher heating value to determine the volume of fuel required.
