[TRNSYS-users] Absorption Chiller - behavior - URGENT

[Angel Carrera]

Dev,

in the standard trnsys model, the absorption chiller capacity is set as a
function of the temperature difference and flow rate on the evaporator, in
other words, there is no relation on the capacity neither with the
generator flow rate nor inlet temperature. Once identified the fraction of
nominal capacity depending on the chilled water conditions, and corrected
as per the external file, the model imposes the necessary temperature
differences to the other flow rates. Therre are no internal controls on
type 107, while real chillers usually have some kind of control on flow
rates and temperatures in the fluid loops.
I recommend you to take a look the type 107 description in the mathematical
reference to understand what's going on inside the type.
