[TRNSYS-users] Tank Temperature Beyond Boiling

[Matt Duffy]

Brad,

The TESS Type534 does not have any built-in heating elements or heating energy sources. It can only have the temperature increase if something “upstream” (or a constant input value for the component), an input, is adding energy to the tank. I suggest you look closely at the components that are adding energy to the tank and perhaps limit that(with some kind of controller) to prevent excessive tank temperatures.

Cheers,

Matt

Hi,

Does anyone know how to limit the fluid temperature of the vertical cylindrical tank 534-coiled (from TESS library)? It is getting up to about 130 °C. I can't find a parameter to limit this. I was using Type 60c but ran into a bug and technical support suggested I use this model because it has fewer issues.
