[TRNSYS-users] Thermal storage tank for CHW

[Jeff Thornton]

<Hi, All I'm trying to simulate the water storage tank for CHW. I had used
the type4 for solar heating system, it works well. I don't know which type
is better for simulating the water storage tank for CHW, since the
difference temperature of discharge water and  charge is smaller than the
heating water system.>

Type 4 (in fixed inlet location mode) will do a nice job of simulating CHW
tanks.  Type 534 from the TESS Libraries is another nice option if you
have heat exchangers or other options that aren't handled by Type 4.
