[TRNSYS-users] FW: type 32 (cooling coil) issue

Hi everybody

 

I have the same problem as Cramer (and Fred after him) while trying to
simulate air cooling with type 32.

See below the last statement of Trace before simulation crashes (no water
flow actually).

Has anybody ever solved this issue?

Thanks a lot.

Hi All,
 
I'm having some problems Type 32, the simple cooling coil. It crashes a 
little way into the simulation (at hour 607.75) with an error about an 
enthalpy <0. However, it's at a time when the coil has airflow but no 
water flow (cooling is not required at this timestep). I see in the code 
of type 32 that if either flows are 0 (actually, <1e-6) then it should 
simply set outputs = inputs and return. Any ideas what's going on?
 
Thanks,
Cramer

TRNSYS Users,

 

I am getting a strange error: Attempted to take the log of a negative
number. -enthalpy (H) is less than or equal to zero.

 

This happens right when the simulation starts so only the initial conditions
should be taken into consideration as no information has been passed between
components yet.

 

The air temperatures (dry and wet bulb) are higher than the water
temperature and as this is a cooling coil, that would make sense.

 

If someone please shed some light on this error I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

 

Fred
