[TRNSYS-users] Energy removed Tank Type 60

Martin,
   One convenient way of defining the solar fraction is:

qDelivered/(qAux + qParasitics)

qDelivered would come from your adsorption chiller model, qAux would be 
the amount of energy delivered by the aux heater, and qParasitics would 
primarily be your pumping energy and the electricity required by the 
adsorption chiller. This method avoids having to worry at all about what 
is happening in the tank.
Kind regards,
  David
