[TRNSYS-users] How to control absorption chiller (Type 107)

[Jeff Thornton]

The only thing I would add is that you might want to consider using an
aquastat model instead of the simple "Greather Than" function for the
tank temperature check. The aquastat will have a deadband and will
converge every time while the equation may oscillate between control
states and cause non-convergence issues.
