Dear Trnsys users,<br><br>I want to modell a classic heating system with radiators (that use hot water, heated from a central boiler). I have read previous threads that talk about a component of transsolar (type 362 ) that simulates such a radiator and found that TESS has a similar component type-1231. Unfortunately I don't have these components (I have an older version of TESS library) and I wondered if i could simulate somehow the radiator with type-56 (trnbuild) by using an active layer. I know that active layers are traditionally used for internal floor heating, but I made this consideration :<br>
<br>To add to my heating zone an external wall <u>with active layer</u> and <u>adiabatic conditions</u> on the surface looking to the enviroment ( active layers cant unfortunately be used in internal walls) that has wall area equal to the desired radiator (and by equal i mean the total surface of the radiator that takes part in the radiation-convection heat exchange).<br>
<br>I would appreciate your opinion on this,<br><br>with regards Nomikos.<br>
