[TRNSYS-users] storage tank maximum size constraint?

Is there a maximum size constraint for the equations that govern the storage tanks in TRNSYS.

We recently completed construction on a 5 million gallon (19 million liter) chilled water storage tank for a campus chilled water system and I was wondering if we could simulate the performance in TRNSYS for future projects.

The chilled water tank is approximately the size of a 3 story building so there would be significant thermal stratification. Also horizontally, there might be some stratification.

Thanks,

Fred
