[TRNSYS-users] Air-Water Heat Pump (Type 941) doesn't converge

[Jeff Thornton]

Adrian, 

Any flow convergence issues you are having is likely due to something
beyond the AWHP. This type does not set the water flow rate - it simply
passes it through the device; heating or cooling it of the device is on
or simply just passing it through if the device is off. Pumps are the
devices in TRNSYS that typically set the flow rates for your loops. I
would suggest you use the TRACE feature and watch to see what is
happening when you are getting convergence issues.
