[TRNSYS-users] fluid-fluid heat exchangers

[Jeff Thornton]

<I was wondering wether fluid-to-fluid heat exchangers are suitable for an
exchange from air to water and vice versa.>

No, not really.  The humidity effects (especially when the air is being
cooled past the dewpoint) can significantly alter the results.  There are
plenty of air to fluid heat exchanger models out there (heating coils,
cooling coils etc.); both in the standard libraries and in the TESS
libraries.
