[TRNSYS-users] Type 34 with Type 56

[Jens Apel]

Dear all,

 

I'm simulating a building with a post and rail glass facade. The posts and rails are shadowing the glass area. I am using the type 34 to calculate the shaded radiation on the glass pane. Now I'm not sure how to handle the view factor. The type 34 calculates with a sky view factor of 1 when PAR(1) is one and of 0.5 when PAR(1) is 0. As I'm using a type 109 data reader I set PAR(1) to 0.

 

In type 56 there is a preset value for the sky view factor of 0.5. If I understand it right I get a double sky view factor of 0.5 when I connect the type 34 to the type 56 and should change one of the two values to 1. Is that correct? And where should I set a view factor of 1, in type 34 or in type 56?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Jens

 

 

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards
