[TRNSYS-users] Absorption Chiller - behavior - URGENT

[angel.carrera at aiguasol.coop]

Hi Dev,

The temperature dependence on capacity is managed by the external file, but the flowrate dependence is more complicated. I imagine that the easiest way to do it is to modify the code to include this dependency

@Angel: Thanks a lot for your reply.

@All: The chiller model simply does energy balance. Whereas the "real"
chiller data suggests that capacity reduces on decreasing hot stream
inlet temperature or flowrate. This happens by reduction in chilled
water temperature difference.

Any help is highly appreciated :)

Thanks
Dev
