[TRNSYS-users] PID controller parameters setting - Cooling coils Type508

[Jeff Thornton]

Newer versions of Type 508 have internal controls in the model to maintain outlet temperatures, humidity, etc.  The changes were made to make it much easier to control the outlet conditions without having to use difficult control sequences.  The latest version of the TESS HVAC library contains this updated model as well as later version of the previous HVAV library (I believe).  I do know there has been a recent fix that I found when the air flow rate >> water flow rate.

I build this mechanism in order to model a cooling cooling with a bypass in fluid side (3-ways valve flow controlling).
