<font face="arial">Dear Cagatay,<br>
</font> Type53 reads its own data file and then calls a curve
fitting routine to internally produce a performance curve for the
chillers. The format of the data that Type53 is expecting is simply a
series of n lines each having three entries, an X, a Y, and a Z value.
The number of lines in the file is dictated by the value of parameter 5.
There should not be any header lines in the data file. The extension of
the file (*.dat or *.txt does not matter; Type53 is simply looking for a
text file and does not care what extension is used.) I am not sure what
the exact problem is but if the above hints do not help, I would suggest
contacting your distributor
directly.<br><br><blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">
<ol>
<li><font face="arial" size=2>Is it required to use an extra data reader
at all? The chiller type 53 can already read the external file, can’t
it?</font> </blockquote>
</ol>that is correct. Type53 reads its own data
file.<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">
<ol>
<li><font face="arial" size=2>Is also needed to use an integrator
for the simulation? And what kind of printer should be used?</font>
</blockquote>
</ol>an integrator would be used if you wanted to know total power
consumption of the chillers over each day, each month, or over the entire
simulation. I would recommend using a combination of Type24 for
integrating and Type25 for
printing.<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">
<ol>
<li><font face="arial" size=2>Can anyone send me a sample performance
data file for Type 53? There is no sample data file in my TRNSYS
library:-(</font>
<li><font face="arial" size=2>It would be also very nice, if anyone could
send me a chiller deck file or the simulation model outlook.
</font></blockquote>
</ol>I am not sure whether we have any such data files. <br><br>
Kind regards,<br>
