[TRNSYS-users] differential controller's problem

Vajihe,

I’m curious as to why you have equations between the collector and tank.  You should add some capacitance to your loop via pipes as well and have a timestep in the order of a minute or two.  Send me your project and I’ll take a look.

I have defined a differential controller but it doesn't effect on outlet temperature, I changed upper and lower dead band temperature different times but the outlet temperature didn't change.
