[TRNSYS-users] Including Thermal Capacitance in Boiler (Type751)

[David BRADLEY]

Dev,
   Adding thermal capacitance to the model itself would involve changing 
the source code and asking for some additional parameters so that you 
would be able to solve the first order differential equation that 
describes the behavior.  You'd need a Fortran compiler in order to 
modify, recompile, and relink the code into a modified component. You 
would also need to change the proforma.

   Another method that you could use to accomplish something like the 
same effect without modifying the source code would be to put a tank 
model (Type534 ideally) either directly upstream or directly downstream 
of the boiler. This would at least account for the thermal capacitance 
and standby losses of the liquid volume associated with the boiler.

Best,
  David
