[TRNSYS-users] wood and gas burner (type 170) in the sameproject?

Dear Ralf,

As Diego mentioned TYPE 170 is programmed such that it could be used only once during
the simulatuion. For using it more often the code must improved using the so called 
s-array for storing values.

Dear Raf,

I think that the problem is that the source code is not re-reading the 
parameters for the different instances of this component during each 
simulation call. I think that you will find a code line like this:

IF(INFO(7).NE.-1) GO TO 3

This means that if this is not the initial call, jump to the line with 
label '3'.
You will have to make sure that this label is located before the 
parameters are read, for example:
3 dummy = PAR(1)

If you still have problems with this component, please feel free to send 
me the sourcecode and a simplified version of your simulation where I 
can see the problem.
Best regards,

Diego
