[TRNSYS-users] Problem in X2H converter - heat exchangers

[Matt Duffy]

Dear Christina, 

Have you considered the TESS Cogeneration (CHP)
Library? There are a few different Rankine Cycle examples and numerous
steam system components with this add-on library. Please be aware that
the TRNSYS standard components do not have inputs for pressure as they
assume constant specific heat for the particular component. The TESS CHP
Library components do indeed have inputs that are applicable for steam.


Best regards, 

Matt Duffy
