[TRNSYS-users] Heat exchangers network modelling problem

Mon Apr 3 09:16:22 PDT 2017

Dr Belmonte,

   It is quite common and intentional that components would be called 
more than once at a single timestep. The TRNSYS engine iterates through 
the components until it gets a converged solution at each timestep from 
all the components in the system. If the system is a pass-through (i.e. 
the working fluid goes once through the system and there are no fluid 
loops anywhere in the system then I would not expect to see iterations 
but as soon as there is a feedback loop you should get iteration.

kind regards,

  David
