[TRNSYS-users] Cooling demand - QCOOL

Wed May 26 08:45:57 PDT 2021

Ciao Toni,
grazie mille della risposta.
Ho dimenticato di scrivere che sto utilizzando Trnsys 17
per quanto riguarda la verifica con il .BAL (NType 904 / 905) l'ho
effettuata, ho stampato singolarmente i diversi Output e confrontati con i
corrispettivi B4_xxx. Precisamente:
- QSCOOL (NT. 33) -> B4_QCOOL (NT. 905 e 953)
- SDQAIR (NT. 39) -> B4_DQAIRdt (NT. 905 e 951)
- SQINF (NT. 35) -> B4_QINF (NT. 905 e 952)
- SQGCONV (NT 38) + SQGRAD (NT 43) -> B4_QGINT (NT 905 e 958)
- QSOLAIR (NT 117); di cui ho calcolato la somma tramite la Type
calcolatrice) -> B4_QSOLAIR (NT. 905 e 961) Questo fattore è sempre 0, ma
non ne comprendo il motivo;
- B4_QSOL (NT 905 e 960) non ho trovato l'esatto corrispondente, in diverse
conversazioni ho letto di far riferimento a QTSABS (NT. 57)
- B4_QTRANS (NT 905 e 957) per come ho compreso il QTRANS non è possibile
ottenerlo in via diversa se non mediante il Balance. In oltre non ne
comprendo a pieno i risultati. Dalla descrizione sembra che valori positivi
corrispondano a guadagni termici per la zona termica e valori negativi al
contrario delle dispersioni verso l'esterno, per tanto non dovrei avere
QTRNS+ con Tin<Tou e TRNS- con Tin>Tout? Chiedo perché questa cosa dai
risultati della simulazione non risulta.

Per quanto riguarda i guadagni interni, si sono vicini a quelli ipotizzati.
Per quanto riguarda i guadagni solari (QSOL) sono inclusi nel SUMMARY,
mentre il QSOLAIR come dicevo prima è sempre pari a 0. Se sono realistici o
meno, ammetto che non sono bene in grado di definirlo. Ho cercato di far
riferimento alla UNI 10349 e alla UNI 11300 per avere un idea dei valori
che dovrebbero uscire (c.a. 57000 MJ nel mese di Luglio), e in effetti sono
maggiori rispetto a quelli risultanti dalla simulazione di TRNSYS (36000 MJ
nel mese di Luglio). L'edificio è situato nel Lazio, in provincia di Roma.
Provo a controllare meglio questi valori e le impostazioni corrispondenti.

In ogni caso allego il modello Trnsys e il .bdf, se hai modo di guardarlo
te ne sono infinitamente grata.
Grazie Mille davvero.

I'm not sure that i answer only you (Toni) or to all User mailing list, so
i Traslate the email in English too.

I forgot to write that I am using Trnsys 17.
As regards the verification with the .BAL (NType 904/905) I have done it. I
have printed the different Outputs and compared with the corresponding
B4_xxx. More precisely:
- QSCOOL (NT.33) -> B4_QCOOL (NT.905 and 953)
- SDQAIR (NT.39) -> B4_DQAIRdt (NT.905 and 951)
- SQINF (NT.35) -> B4_QINF (NT.905 and 952)
- SQGCONV (NT 38) + SQGRAD (NT 43) -> B4_QGINT (NT 905 and 958)
- QSOLAIR (NT 117); (of which I calculated the sum using the Type
calculator) -> B4_QSOLAIR (NT. 905 and 961) This factor is always 0, but I
don't understand why;
- B4_QSOL (NT 905 and 960) I did not find the exact correspondent, in
several conversations I read about referring to QTSABS (NT.57)
- B4_QTRANS (NT 905 and 957) as I understood the QTRANS it is not possible
to obtain it in different way except through the Balance. In addition, I do
not fully understand the results. From the description it seems that
positive values correspond to thermal gains for the thermal zone and
negative values as losses, so I shouldn't have QTRNS + with Tin <Tou and
TRNS- with Tin> Tout?

About the internal gains, they are close to those assumed.
As for the solar gains (QSOL) they are included in the SUMMARY, while the
QSOLAIR as I said before is always equal to 0. Whether they are realistic
or not, I admit they are not well able to define it. I tried to refer to
UNI 10349 and UNI 11300 to get an idea of the values that should come out
(about 57000 MJ in the month of July), and in fact they are greater than
those resulting from the simulation of TRNSYS (36000 MJ in the month of
July). The building is located in Rome.

In any case, I enclose the Trnsys model and the .bdf, if you have the
opportunity to look at it I am infinitely grateful.
Thank you very much indeed.
