[TRNSYS-users] Question active layer in type 56

[David BRADLEY]

Richard,
   The active layer model does handle no-flow. The air temperature may 
not be the best variable to watch to determine whether the system is 
operating properly; radiant floor systems often try to keep people 
comfortable by keeping the zone surfaces either cool or warm and letting 
the air temperature float through a wider range than is generally 
acceptable in purely air-based systems. You might look instead at the 
inside surface temperature of your radiant slab. I would think that you 
would see a slower response to turning the GSHP on and off there.
Best,
  David
