[TRNSYS-users] Type 927, Number of specified flows

Richard,
   It is important to clarify that the data file for Type927 required at 
least two /values /of source and load flow rates in order for the TRNSYS 
kernel routine that reads the data file to interpolate correctly. A 
modification has been made to TRNSYS 17.1 that allows users to specify 
only one value for any of the "independent variables" if they so choose.

   The easiest thing to do in Trnsys17.0.x and earlier is simply to copy 
the data for the flow rates that you do have and paste it for another 
(arbitrary) flow rate. Essentially this just indicates in the data file 
that there is no performance dependence on a changing flow rate. 
Probably not a great assumption but at least the simulation would run.

Kind regards,
  David
