I put it on our list of things to look at; unfortunately in the short
term, I don't think there is anything that can be done about it. You
can use it to look at daily losses as a function of the time of year
but looking at hourly losses seems to be something that it can't do at
the moment.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<br>
Thanks for the answer, do you have any solution for this problem? Our
problem is that we are interrested in analysing the losses for specific
periods of time such as comparing day and night. Is there anything we
can do??<br>
Thanks <br>

I think Type557 has a reporting problem. At my colleague Jeff's
suggestion, I ran your simulation out for 5 years. After about two
years, it reaches more or less steady state at which point I started
integrating the amount of energy that I was putting into the ground
(mCp(Tin-Tout)) and the amount of losses from the top sides and bottom.
The difference between the two is small and equal to the storage
internal energy change. I am not sure why Type557 only reports the
losses once every 18 hours. Jeff thinks it may have to do with the
frequency at which the solution for a single bore is superimposed on
the total bore field and then how often that solution is superimposed
upon the far field.<br>
Kind regards,<br>

<br>
We just produced a small project in order to show the effect. Pay
attention to the plots. and the period of the appearance of the losses.<br>
<br>
Thanks to all <br>

Could you send us the project that you are working from so that we can
take a look at it?<br>
Thanks <br>

</style>Dear Matt,<br>
<br>
The problem ist not tracing the inputs, outputs and parameters. We
have been trying to debug the component <br>
and have encountered the problem explained before: <br>
<br>
" While simulating with the type 557a (Ground Heat Exchanger (TESS)) I<br>
discouverd that the heat losses of the earth control volume to the<br>
sides, top and bottom (Outputs: 5,6,7) are generating a peak in a<br>
constant period (roughly 27 hours) while the rest of the time these<br>
outputs are zero. What I actually want is an output of the losses in<br>
every timestep. Does anyone have an idea what is actually calculated by<br>
these outputs? Is there an error in the code?"<br>
<br>
The problem is that the type is quite commplicated and hence we are not
able to completely understand the code!<br>
But the results we get seem to be wrong if ever our interpretation of
the results in the online plotter are correct! <br>
The losses to all sides (top, bottom and side) are 0 for nearly all the
time, only for 1 timestep (after a period off roughly 27 hours) it get
a value. We have tried to understand the timestep handeling in the
code, which (if we understood well!!) seems to convert the unit hours
of the main soubroutine into seconds for the other soubroutines used,
and we suspect that there might be a mistake somewhere in the treatment
of the losses with the different time units! But as mentioned we are
not sure and we are no experts either !<br>
Maybe some of you colleages may have an idea, <br>
<br>
Sorry for bothering !<br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
