<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear TRNSYS users,<BR>
<BR>
I'm trying to model a solar cooling absorption system and monitor the average temperature of a room with the system, but I encountered many problems with the attached project file.<BR>
<BR>
1. When I use the weather file for Singapore, the storage tank output temperature is very low. However, when I use a weather file from a cooler country, the results are higher.<BR>
Is the weather file representative of Singapore's weather?<BR>
Why does the storage temperature change so much based on the weather file?<BR>
<BR>
2. The collector area is limited to 2m^2, why is the system not able to handle a collector area larger than 2m^2? I get a floating point operation error if its above 2m^2.<BR>
<BR>
3. When using the datafile provided for Type 107. Do I need to include a cooling tower to type 107? Or does the datafile already simulate that?<BR>
<BR>
4. Is type 12c suitable as a load to cool?<BR>
<BR>
How do I fix these problems? Is my model correct?<BR>
<BR>
Your assistance is very much appreciated!<BR>
<BR>
Thank you<BR>
