      Your formula looks right except that I don't think the first
    Tst,previous term on the right hand side should be divided by the
    Cp,st*m,st.<br>
    <br>
      You can get the temperature at the previous time step by using
    either Type661 from the TESS Libraries or Type93. Both hold on to
    output values for a user-specified number of timesteps before
    releasing them.<br>
    <br>
      I am not entirely clear why you don't want to use an actual
    storage media model such as Type10, which solves the coupled
    differential equations that allow you to model stratified storage
    and also take care of computing the state of the air leaving the
    storage media so that it can be correctly passed either back to the
    collector or on to something else.<br>

      <br>
      first of all I have to admit, that I'm quite new to Trnsys Studio.
      So the question might be really easy to answer. I would<br>
      be really glad, if you can help me. <br>
      <br>
      My problem is the following: <br>
      <br>
      I have linked a solar air collector to an equation, which is
      supposed to simulate the sensible storage in a very simplified
      way. <br>
      I assume, that the temperature of the hot air from the collector
      is constant, also the volume flow and further I assume, that the <br>
      heat transfer between the hot air and the heat storage is ideal.
      That means, that the air is released from the storage at storage <br>
      temperature. Last not least I assume that there are no heat
      lossses to the ambience. <br>
      <br>
      Taking all the assumptions above, an estimation of the storage
      temperature for each timestep shouldn't be difficult.<br>
      I would propose the following formula:<br>

      The only problem I face, how to command Trnsys to use the Storage
      tempearture Tst from the <br>
      previous timestep. Hopefully you can help me solving my problem. <br>

      Thanks for your help in advance.<br>
