[TRNSYS-users] Thermal mass in type 56

[Matt Duffy]

Dear Dr. Chatchawan Chaichana,

I recommend using one of Jeff's (TESS) slab models to simulate the heat
transfer between the low temperature room and the ground - assuming that
the concrete slab is coupled to the earth.

Jeff sent a user some diagrams of temperature beneath a slab of a super
market store that also had a low temperature room. You will notice the low
temperature room in the top, right corner of the diagram.

Hi there,
I'm working on a very low temperature storage room project. I'd like to
simulate the energy consumption of the refrigeration system that is used to
remove heat gain to the room. The refrigeration system will be operated only
during the night. There is a mass of concrete inside the room acting as
thermal mass. At the end of the night, the concrete temperature  is to be
-30C. During the day, the refrigeration system is off, leaving the concrete
slap to supply cooling to the room. Yes, it is another demand side
management.

At the moment, I'm using Type 56 as the storage room with only one zone (may
create other zones later). I'm wondering how can I model the concrete slab
inside the room.

Best regards,
Chat
