[TRNSYS-users] Matched flow control

[David BRADLEY]

Adnan,

  If the flow rate is proportional to the ambient temperature then there 
are some models in the TESS Controls library that you can use (Type1250 
for example). If you are doing feedback control (in other words 
comparing a temperature to a desired temperature and implementing a 
controller whose signal is proportional to the difference between the 
two as well as to the integral of the error) then there are some model 
in the standard controls library. You might look at Types 22 and 23. PI 
and PID control can be a little tricky in TRNSYS because we discretize 
time into time steps that are quite long in comparison to the rate at 
which true PID control samples and adjusts a control signal. I would 
recommend looking at the PID example and documentation for some hints on 
how to set it up.

kind regards,

  David
