[EnergyPlus_Support] On ice storage system simulation



Dear E+ group, I just carefully read about ice storage system models in Inputouput reference and Engineering reference as well as its specific models. Then an question comes to me that is brine solution is assumed to be used in a ice storage system but when constructing specific models, it is nearly impossible for E+ to model a plant loop with brine solution as coolants running in it. I also checked a value of density*specific heat, the values for brine solutions are quite different from that of water which is the only fluid can be used in plant loops in E+. So I wonder how E+ treats such a difference between brine solution and water. In my opinion such a difference will certainly cause an inaccurate flow rate in plant loops and also the charging and discharging proccess when modelling TES system. Thank you all and I am looking forward to any possible answers!
