<p class="MsoNormal">Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been through previous threads on the functioning of TYPE 2, but am facing an unprecedented problem.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m using Type 2 to control the flow in a parabolic trough collector, taking T_out (outlet temperature of collector) as T_high (Input 1) and a fixed value for Input 2. Inlet mass flow rate is the product of output control function (0 or
1) from Type 2 and Nominal mass flowrate. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However on doing this, I’m also getting output control function as decimal values. Mathematical reference says that it can be either 0 or 1. Any suggestions?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#2F5496"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";color:#2F5496">Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">P.S: I am connecting Output to Input 4 as well. <o:p></o:p></p>
