[TRNSYS-users] type 56 and active layers

Olivier,

   I don't think that Type56 has outputs for the outlet mass flow rate 
from an active layer. It does, of course, have outputs for the outlet 
temperature. However, since the inlet and outlet mass flow to/from the 
active layer are equal you can just pass the mass flow rate directly 
from collector to tank (bypassing the house) while the temperature into 
the tank will come from the house.

kind regards,

  David
