<p>The good news is that I can repeat the error with the Type 534 plug-in here. The bad news is that I don't know yet what's causing the issue. But when I simply specify the file in the Files tab of the proforma it runs fine here in TRNSYS. One thing I did notice was that you are using the setting for pure water. While that model is able to handle the temperature dependence of pure water, any downstream components likely cannot - which can cause energy balance issues. We recommend using the user-supplied properties option for this reason. We'll look into the Type 534 plug-in issue and report back.</p>
