[TRNSYS-users] Combined paralle and series collector array with different orientation

[Jeff Thornton]

<I'm new with TRNSYS, so I want to simulate system for heating DHW
in a hotel using solar thermal collectors(flat plate). The difficult is
that there are 5 collectors parallel connected (each 2m2, south-west
orientated, tilted 30 degrees) and then they're serial connected to
another 2 collectors(each 2,5 m2 which are parallel connected between
them, south orientated, tilted 40 degrees). Again this array is in
parallel connected with exactly the same array of collectors. Can
someone give me directions hot to define the solar collector array in
the simulation?> 

I followed your e-mail until the line: "Again this
array is in parallel connected with exactly the same array of
collectors" Can you provide a simple sketch of the collector array so we
can help you set the collector parameters?
