[TRNSYS-users] definition of TRNSYS's outputs for temperature

[Pauline GELIN]

Dear TRNSYS users,

Further to my previous mail, you can find attached, indeed we saw that the temperatures given by TRNSYS are the average of the ​​desired values between two time steps.

In our projects, such results are detrimental:
- for example when we count the number of hours above a certain value
or even when we show on a graphic the temperature curve of a day with desired setpoint temperatures as TRNSYS’s outputs of temperature don’t match with these setpoints.

Knowing that the software has the right information of temperature at time X, why could not it give us this information rather than the average time between the time X-1 and time X ?

Does anyone already have these problems? How did you fix them ? Do you know if we can have these instantaneous values by choosing an option somewhere in the software?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Best regards,

Hello,

I am so sorry to insist but, despite several tests, I can not find the answers to my questions from the previous mail. Does anyone even just have an idea of quick answer ?

I also appeal to you about another problem I have with each project on TRNSYS.
When I define a set temperature at a specific time (eg 20 ° C at 7am), the temperature zones does not reach 20 ° C at 7am but an hour later.
It seems that, at 7 am, the temperature is rather than the average value between the past temperature and the set temperature.

Do you have an explanation and above all a solution to this?

Do we have to  clarify something (a field) about the component type 9,used to read the text file with the set temperatures for each hour of the year ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,
