[TRNSYS-users] Fan Coil with Water Tank

[David BRADLEY]

Alice,

   Three possibilities are worth checking. First, put an online plotter 
on the tank, heat pump, and return water. Plot mass flow and temperature 
into and out of the two ports in the tank so that you're absolutely 
certain that there isn't a small flow going on when there should not be. 
Second, make sure that the capacity of the heating elements in the tank 
are all set to zero so that there isn't any auxiliary energy going into 
the tank. Third (and I doubt that this is contributing) make certain 
that the questions about how many nodes there are in the tank are all 
answered correctly. This question appears in different forms on more 
than one of the Type4 proforma's tabs. In some places you are asked how 
many nodes there are while in other places you are asked how many nodes 
there are in addition to the top and bottom nodes.

kind regards,

  David
