[TRNSYS-users] heating floor modeling with type 56 integrated component

[Antoine Gautier]

Dear all

 

I am trying to compare the results provided by the active layer model
integrated in Type 56 with manufacturer data.

 

Test case is simple.

·         Adiabatic walls without windows

·         No internal gains

·         No air flow rate (nor ventilation nor infiltration)

·         Infinite cooling power to maintain the ambient temperature at the
value used in manufacturer calculations (14°C) 

·         Heating floor precisely parameterized according to manufacturer
specifications (loops number, water flow rate, conductivity of insulation,
etc.)

·         QALFL gives me the total emitted power and QCOOL the power emitted
to the zone

 

Below is the result of the comparison at stationary conditions (plus a
sensitivity perform in TRNSYS on pipe wall conductivity and loops number).

Does the gap between TRNSYS and manufacturer data fall within the model
uncertainty or does it seem too high to you ? (~20% on power emitted to the
zone)

Perhaps I missed something in my test case


Or would you have any other advice to reduce the discrepancy ? (giving the
fact that input data uncertainties are very small in my case since I have
the detailed manufacturer specifications) 

 

Thanks a lot.

Regards
