[TRNSYS-users] question on TYPE 676 (Steam-Fired Double-Effect Absorption Chiller)

[Lei Wang]

Hi, Jeff

I still feel confuse on S3 data file.  The fraction of design energy input is only  the function of cooling water temperature and the fraction load. What's the condition of chilled water temperature. 

Thanks

Lei

This is the exact method employed by a major absorption chiller manufacturer to characterize the performance of their machines over a wide range of operating conditions.
