[TRNSYS-users] ideal heating position in TRNBUILD

Dear Wang!
 
This is only possible if You use TRNSYS 17.
You can not use the ideal heating directly.

*	

	Define a GeoPosition Geometry using the xyz-Cube Icon.
*	

	Define a "other Gain" with the correct radiative ratio and it's power as input
*	

	Calculate the power of the gain using an iterative feedback controller (Type22) in the SimulationStudio;
Inputs are the desired and the actual zone temperature and the output is the required heating power connected to the gain-input of Type56.

That should do the job of "simulating" an ideal heating at a specific position.
 
With kind regards,
    Matthias Kersken

Dear all,
 
 
To ideal heating in TRNBUILD: Where is this heating? Can I define its position? If so, how to define its position?  How is the ideal heating operating or working?

Subject: Re: [TRNSYS-users] Problems with calling EES (Type66a)

David,
 
Thank you for the reply. The EES project was defenately openening and closing, but EES itself stayed open. I fixed this problem now with changing the pad for the EES project from
"c:\xxx\xxx\hydraulics\EES.ees" to "\hydrolics\EES.ees".
 
But now it seems that EES-TRNSYS coupling has a limited number of outputs, is this correct? When I run a long simulation with alot of timesteps, the simulation stops after a while, I think it is after 66000 timesteps with 20 inputs and 40 outputs with the EES-TRNSYS coupling. Is there a solution for this?
 
Using another type is no option as I need to make calcultation with EES at every timestep.
 
Many thanks
 
Joris Doms

Joris,
  It isn't actually the opening and closing that takes time (EES stays running the whole time). The slowness is the EES calculation time and the fact that EES is called at every single timestep and at every single iteration within a timestep of your TRNSYS simulation. There are a few different versions of Type66 that allow you to avoid calling EES whenever possible (basically an input that is an on/off switch for the EES calculations). If you know that your EES program doesn't have to be called (because the device that it models is inactive) then you can "turn off" the call to Type66 and save some time. Take a look at the EES example in the ..\TrnsysXX\Examples\Calling_EES\ directory; all the different options are shown in there.
Kind regards,
 David

Dear Mr. Duffy,
 
           Many thanks for your reply!
 
          I’m so sorry for sending multiple identical emails to the TRNSYS users mailing list. Because I'm very anxious not to get those answers, that's some tasks my professor gave me, I must finish them these days. So I still have no other way to do with them after asking other guys, then I sent multiple identical emails to the TRNSYS users mailing list.
 
   sorry again!

Dear Wang,


The following document has information about radiator/convector.



ASHRAE, 2004 ASHRAE Handbook: HVAC Systems and Equipment, ASHRAE, Atlanta

Perhaps a basic heat transfer text, such as Incropera and Dewitt, may have information as well.

Best regards,

Dear all,

I want to make sure the exact value about RADIATIVE PART in the TRNBUILD Heating option. e.g. What's the exact RADIATIVE PART or Convection Part value of the wall heating and radiator and convector?

Or Please introduce me some TRNSYS references and literature about RADIATIVE PART or Convection Part value of the wall heating and radiator and convector etc.




Please introduce me some best English books about the heating(radiator, convector, Wandheizung and floor heating) operating or working fundamentals etc., walls' thermal energy storage and materials' pyhsics property etc., the infiltration and ventilation etc. and our this research topic's literatures we must read.

Simon,
If you would be willing to send me your TRNSYS project and EES code, I could probably debug it and find out why changing the size of szdelivertext isn't solving it. It may be that there is a limitation on the EES side of the connection as well; please don't quote me on that though until I get to look at it!
Kind regards,
David

Dear all,

I am currently using the Type66 object for exchanging data between TRNSYS and ees.
At first it worked very well, but when I want to receive more than 34 inputs from ees, TRNSYS alway generates an error: "Error converting clipboard data to numbers."
After searching for this problem, I found that the problem was situated in the Type66 component, which only reads the first 512 characters from the clipboard. The suggested solution was to modify the value of szdelivertext to a higher number and recompile it.(https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/trnsys-users/2009/004540.html)
I modified the value of szdelivertext to 40 000 in stead of the standard 4000, but the result stayed the same.

Can anyone suggest a solution for this problem?

Best regards,

Subject: Re: [TRNSYS-users] acceptable temperature range


You’ll probably be better off using a simple feedback controller rather than an equation block because you can get frequent starts and stops or non-convergence warnings. 

 

Also, that’s a pretty large temperature range to operate over. Are you driving an absorption chiller with those temperatures? 

 

You might be better off controlling a variable speed pump to maintain your temperature range rather than shutting the pump off when the temperature exceeds 80C. If you shut off the pump when the temperature is over 80C, you risk exceeding the stagnation temperature of your panels in the real world. 

 

There is a solar thermal panel in the TESS libraries that has a built in controller that has an output for a variable speed pump that works really well. 

 

Good luck!

 

Fred

Subject: [TRNSYS-users] acceptable temperature range

 


Hello,

in my solar thermal system I want to define an acceptable interval for the collector outlet temperature [65-80°C] by giving an output signal=1 for the pump in the collector loop. For any other temperatures out of this range the signal should be=0

For this purpose I am using an Equation block!! (Is there any controller, that is able to do it?)

I have defined these variables as:

T_min=65
T_max=80
T_out= collector outlet temperature

Signal=AND(GT(T_out,T_min),LT(T_out,T_max))*1+(1-AND(GT(T_out,T_min),LT(T_out,T_max)))*0

I have plotted the signal. It works fine but I am experiencing a very long simulation time. More than 15 minutes just for a week.

Is there any idea?

Thanks,
Shahrdad
