[TRNSYS-users] How to modelize a complex AHU without type 334 ?

Paul,

   The answer to your question depends a bit on which version of TRNSYS 
you are using and whether you have access to some of the add-ons that 
are available. In v16 and v17 you are correct that the standard library 
does not contain a lot of HVAC equipment models from which you could 
assemble an air handler model. If you are using v16 or v17 you would 
need to either write your own models or use an add-on such as Type334 or 
components from the TESS HVAC library. In v18 the developers added a 
number of HVAC equipment models but in order to model the internal 
pieces of an air handler, you may well still need to use components from 
outside the standard library.

   In order to create a set point temperature for your zone you can use 
the Type108 thermostat model. It is available in the standard library in 
v17. You might also want to look at the tutorial called "temperature 
level control from energy rate control" 
(http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex17.htm). 
It gives some information about the general methodology of modeling a 
building using actual equipment models.

kind regards,

  David
