[TRNSYS-users] Values for Tank loss coefficients

[Jeff Thornton]

Michael,

Many manufacturers post heat loss information on their web sites in the 
form of temperature decay rates (along with the associated tank and 
environment temperatures).  Simply replicate this "test" in TRNSYS using 
your tank model and "tune" the heat loss coefficients to match the 
published results.
