[TRNSYS-users] Problems with Type66

[Diego A. Arias]

Hi Julian,

It is possible that there is not enough inertia in the system, and that 
the simulation is entering infinite loops at each time step. I would 
recommend that you add a pipe to the collector loop, before the pump. 
The pipe should be long enough as to keep one-time step worth of fluid.
Please let me know if this strategy solves your problem.
Best regards,

Diego
