The Type2 Powell's Method mode is not appropriate for what you are trying to do. If you are getting more chatter in your collector control than you want or if you are running at times when the collector cannot sustain an outlet temperature higher than the
tank temperature then you need to modify the temperature deadbands in the differential controller that turns on and off the collector pump. A "turn on" temperature difference of 10C and a "turn off" temperature difference of 2C would be good starting places.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am getting poor results by using Type2b to control a solar collector, since it operates at some time-steps when it shouldn’t (for example, when the temperature coming out from the tank is higher than the SC output temperature,
effectively cooling the tank). I tried to switch to Type 2a, and changed to Powell’s method, but the model won’t run since I am using an Aquastat in a different part of the model, and that one requires the Successive substitution method.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
