Hello Björn, I asked the same question some time ago, and got a direct reply by Marco, so it's not in the archive. The idea is to insert a dummy zone with a low thermal resistance between the two active layers. It worked quite well in my case, thanks Marco. Schematically, it looks like this:
Zone 1 -------------------------------------- oooooooooooooooooooooo active layer1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx slab xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx slab oooooooooooooooooooooo active layer2 -------------------------------------- Zone 2 Which is modeled as: Zone 1 -------------------------------------- oooooooooooooooooooooo active layer1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx slab --------------------------------------- Fictive zone --------------------------------------- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx slab oooooooooooooooooooooo active layer2 -------------------------------------- Zone 2 Regards, Arie -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Bjoern Nienborg Verzonden: donderdag 8 februari 2007 11:40 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: [TRNSYS-users] Type56 - 2 active layers in one wall?? Hello together! I'm trying to simulate a two-storied house with floor heating and chilled ceiling. This means I need two active layers in the first level floor. This isn't permitted by Trnbuild. Does anyone have an idea how to get around this limitation? Thanks for any help!
