[TRNSYS-users] Type10 Rock Bed Storage Inquiry

[Jeff Thornton]

What version of TRNSYS are you using? I believe there was a bug fix a while back that addressed this issue - but that’s from memory.  And what do you mean by the time to heat up the rock bed; the entire average temperature of the rock bed or the temperature near the top of the rock bed?  Increasing the number of segments shouldn’t change the average temperature a lot but will change the stratification in the storage.
