Dear
Sir/Madam I am validating
EnergyPlus according to the VDI directive 6020. Tests require surfaces which
absorption coefficients are zero, a constant external temperature and no solar
radiation. In the case of one example a room has to be simulated with a load of 1000 W, one
time 100% convective, the other time 100 % radiant. While the radiant load
produces an equilibrium temperature of about 52 °C (conform to the reference
results of the directive) the convective load raises the room temperature to
only 36 °C (reference temperature in the directive is about 50 °C). There is no
doubt that the convective load causes the room temperature to increase quicker,
but I wonder why the same load of 1000 W (either radiant or convective)
produces such different equilibrium temperatures at constant external
conditions. I would appreciate
your help. Alexander Beisteiner alexander.beisteiner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
