<div dir="ltr">Hi, <div><br></div><div>Please check the appended screenshot to see how my TRNSYS project looks like (note that this screenshot is zoomed in the loop I am having problems with). <br></div><div>In my project, a variable speed pump flow rate is set with a control function. A tempering valve controls the pump entering temperature according to a set temperature (read from an external file). It is a very common system. <br>
<br>However, the problem is the following : mass balance check fails across the pump (warning messages + I have checked the results and indeed, it occurs during most of the timesteps). The difference between input and output flow rates can be as large as 100%. On the other hand, mass balance is checked when control signal is 0 or 1 (rated flow rate). Connections are set as it follows : <br>
<br>- Tee piece outlet temperature / flowrate --> pump inlet temperature / flowrate<br>- Pump outlet flowrate --> valve inlet flowrate <br><div>- Valve inlet temperature from external file<br>- Valve set temperature from external file </div>
<div>- Pump control signal from external file</div><div><br></div><div>Please feel free to ask for more information about the project.<br><br>Thanks in advance for your help,</div><div><br></div><div>Have a good day,</div>
