[TRNSYS-users] Type 941 air-to-water heat pump, floor heating

[David BRADLEY]

László,

   The most common problem when dealing with non convergence is too long 
a timestep or not enough thermal capacitance in the liquid loop. I would 
recommend running with no more than a 5 minute time step and that you 
estimate the volume of liquid in your floor heating loop. Make sure that 
you have piping or a buffer tank whose volume is at least as large as 
the larger of the estimated volume and the amount of liquid that the 
pump can push in one time step.

kind regards,

  David
