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.

Sequential activation of heat pumps

Hi,

I previously asked a question regarding the sequential activation of a heat pump. However, I could not implement it.

I now want to use type 927 with 15 identical heat pumps and control them by type 910. There are two inputs in type 927 which I cannot differentiate between them: "Scale factor" and "Number of heat pumps on". when I want the second heat pump to be activated after the first one and so on, which input should be increased?

@shamsoddinghiami mathematically speaking, you could use either one as they both have the same end effect. I would recommend setting leaving the scale factor set to 1 and having the number of heat pumps on set by your controller.
