[TRNSYS-users] Solar Concentration Type 536 and 1288 - Direct Steam

[Jeff Thornton]

Jose,

I think your best bet it to code a new model with steam as the working 
fluid.  The other work-arounds are just that - work arounds.  I noticed 
there are several technical articles on this concept and one used TRNSYS 
as the simulation engine.  You might want to contact the authors to see 
if their model is available if you don't want to code it yourself.
