[TRNSYS-users] Is tank type 4 or type 158, are pressurize tank????

[David BRADLEY]

Virk,

  The Type4 and Typ158 tank models assume that the liquid properties 
(specific heat, density, thermal conductivity, etc.) are constant. You 
can drive their temperatures above 100C and they will not boil so yes, 
in a way they model pressurized tanks but keep in mind that you can 
drive the temperature of those tanks up as high as you want and they 
still won't boil. Keep an eye on their temperature and make sure it does 
not go so high that the constant properties assumption is no longer 
appropriate.

kind regards,

  David
