[TRNSYS-users] Flow of water thru Type927 when it is off

[Amdi Worm]

HI.

Yes it is indeed possible. I have attached a screen dump of a system I have
made where the pump is running between the storagetank and the heatpump
(927) and is running constantly. My heatpump is controlled by the
temperature in the returning fluid from the tank to the heatpump ( as it is
done in many cases in real-life). The heat demand is simulated in another
program and imported by type 9a.

I dont know your system, but the convergens problems could be caused by
large timesteps compared to the inertia of your system ( often a buffertank
/ pipe system that is not capable of "consumeing" the energy produced i one
time step). My heatpump has a rated performance at 8kW ( 0/35 ) and a
buffer tank with a capacity of 200 liters + 20 meters of pipeing. I am
running my simulation at 0.5h pr timestep.

I hope this is a help for you.
Best regards.
