[TRNSYS-users] WSHP with radiant floor for building

[Jacopo Valente]

Thank you David,

I’m not using type 56, because i have the total hourly load profile. So at first i read the loads with tipe 9 and then i consider them as input of type 690 that mimic the zone. With thermostat i control the set point temperature of the zone (20 degrees for heating and 26 for cooling).
Could it be right?
I made the same with fancoil instead of radiant slab and the system works.

Kind regards,
Jacopo

Jacopo,

  If you are modeling the building in Type56 I would define an active layer and radiant floor in each of the apartments. I think that using Type653 might not be the best idea because presumably the apartments are all individually controlled (and may even have different setpoints at different times). Modeling each in Type56 would allow for such control and for a better estimate of the pumping power required to feed 28 separate systems rather than one large one.

kind regards

 David

Hello everyone,

I’m simulating a water-water heat pump for the cooling and heating system of all the 28 apartments of a building, for a total of 2000 m^2.
My question is about the type 653 which rapresents the radiant slab. Is it correct (in the parameter window of the type) to set the slab surface equal to whole surface of the building to be heated and a corrisponding total pipe lenght?

Thank for the support,
Best regards.
