<font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman">Dear all,<br>
I am a TRNSYS 15 user and I am facing problems with type 60 used to
simulate a tank with 1 internal heat exchanger.<br>
Simulation seems to go on without problems but into the list file a
warning message is sent by the type 60 when trying to solve the
</font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman">heat
exchanger</font></font><font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman">
internal heat transfer coefficient (UAhx) like the following:<br>
%%% TYPE60 WARNING: UAhx UNABLE TO<br>
CONVERGE IN 500 ITERATIONS AT TIME=<br>
8.000000 500 %%%<br>
<br>
I tried to change the number of nodes, the size of the heat
exchanger and/or tank but that warning still continues to appear almost
for all the timesteps (I am using 1/4-hour simulation timestep). I do
not think I can trust those calculations while these warnings exists.<br>
Please, let me know if someone knows some possible
solution\explanation.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Lorenzo</font></font>
