<br>
im a student in N. Ireland using TRNSYS for the first time, can anyone tell me
if its possible to raise the temperature of a storage tank type 4c to 60
degrees C and hold it at that temperature for an hour each day by using the
auxilary heating element in the tank. Any help would be great thanks<br>
