[TRNSYS-users] problem type 655 (chilled water flow rate)

Erwan,
   Type655 does consider the effect of ambient temperature; it is one of 
the two variables in the performance data file (the other variable is 
the desired chilled water outlet temperature). What you might be seeing, 
however, is that the routine that reads the performance data is able to 
interpolate performance within the range of data given but it cannot 
extrapolate beyond the range. If the highest ambient temperature in the 
data file is 30C and all of the ambient temperatures during the 
simulation are above 30C then you will always get the capacity and COP 
that correspond to to the performance at 30C.

   If that does not correct the problem, please send me the *.tpf file 
and the chiller data files that you are using and I will see if I can 
determine the cause of the problem.
Kind regards,
  David
