[TRNSYS-users] Type 11d

[David BRADLEY]

Manrique,
   If you are modeling a tempering valve, then the control signal for 
the mixing valve is actually calculated at the diverter where the flow 
of liquid splits into the portion that will go to the heat source and 
the portion that will be used to temper the heat source if it gets too 
hot. Have a look at Type11b. You can then use a simple flow mixer (i.e. 
not a controlled one) in order to remix the two liquid streams. If your 
situation is different then you can always write an equation that takes 
the temperature of the two streams as inputs and computes the fraction 
of each that is needed in order to arrive at your desired temperature.
kind regards,
  David
