The model will set the flows to each collector internally based on the number in series parameter. This parameter does have an impact on the results when you correctly set the flow. Typically a system with 6 collectors in parallel will have a flow rate 6x the flow of a system with 6 collectors in series. </div><div><br></div><div>Jeff<br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On May 3, 2014, at 5:24 AM, saja al-rifai <<a href="mailto:srhihi2003@yahoo.com">srhihi2003@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><div class="" style=""><span class="" style="">Dear all</span></div><div class="" style="background-color: transparent"><br clear="none" class="" style=""></div><div class="" style="background-color: transparent">I am doing on design the solar thermal cooling system by using TRNSYS, I simulate the system by used flat plate collectors or evacuated tube, there is an problem in (number in series ) parameter i entered different values but the simulation results doesn't change, also i don't know how the TRNSYS deals with the flow rate and area. <span class="" style="font-size: 10pt">Is this the</span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt"> </span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt">value of </span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt"></span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt">flow</span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt"> </span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt">that pass</span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt"> </span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt">in each cell</span><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt"> or is the final outlet flow rate (flow to storage tank) after divided the collector to parallel and series???</span></div><div class="" style="font-size: 10pt; background-color: transparent"><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt"><br clear="none" class="" style=""></span></div><div class="" style="background-color: transparent"><span class="" style="font-size: 10pt">thanks</span></div><div class="" style="">saja </div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>TRNSYS-users mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:TRNSYS-users@cae.wisc.edu">TRNSYS-users@cae.wisc.edu</a></span><br><span><a href="https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/listinfo/trnsys-users">https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/listinfo/trnsys-users</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
