<br>Dear George,<br><br>Thank you very much for your information. I have checked your method and it works quite well.<br><br>Just now, I also noticed that in 2005, Fernando Domínguez Muñoz posted a solution on the TRNSYS forum as following (I attach it below). I also tested it and it works well. It seems that this bug has remained in TRNSYS Type60 for several years. Hope that it will be corrected in the next update version.<br><br>Thank you again.<br><br>Kind Regards,<br>Sunliang Cao<br><br><br><br><br><b><br>**************************************************************<br>Fernando Domínguez Muñoz</b>

<pre>Dear all,
modelling a system comprising several water tanks with internal heat
exchangers, I have found the following bug in the source code of TYPE60.
Where says:
(Lines 981-983)
C IF TANK HAS HEAT EXCHANGERS, DETERMINE AND CHECK GEOMETRY
C if((mode5.eq.1.or.mode5.eq.2.or.mode5.eq.3).and.
C & simtime.lt.(time0+delt/2.)) then
should said
C IF TANK HAS HEAT EXCHANGERS, DETERMINE AND CHECK GEOMETRY
C if((mode5.eq.1.or.mode5.eq.2.or.mode5.eq.3) then
,because the array "geom" must be re-calculated at each iteration.
This problem comes out when using several units of TYPE60 with internal
heat exchanger.
In addition, the "pi" number's value is
data pi/3.14159265358979323/, g/9.81/
not
data pi/3.14109265358979323/, g/9.81/
Best regards.
