[TRNSYS-users] craeting new type 107, absorption chiller data

[David BRADLEY]

Dear Talib,
   The method of adding data to extend the range of the performance file 
is correct. However, you need to also extend the actual performance data 
as well. For example, the provided data file shows a normalized capacity 
of 1.0469 and a fraction of design energy input of 0.98 for the 
following inlet conditions:

Fraction of Design Load: 1.0
Chilled Water Setpoint: 10.0 C
Entering Cooling Water Temperature: 32.2 C
Inlet Hot Water Temperature: 116.11 C

simply changing the inlet hot water temperature range so that the top 
value is 95C would result in the same performance (normalized capacity 
of 1.0469 and a fraction of design energy input of 0.98) for a different 
set of inlet conditions. More likely, the performance of the chiller 
would be quite different at such a low inlet hot water temperature. Some 
chillers may simply not be able to operate at lower inlet hot water 
temperatures.
Best,
  David
