Improved Thermosyphon Solar Water Heater Type45 by G. Morrison (TRNAUS) The thermosyphon component in TRNSYS 13 is restricted to a linear collector characterizing function. The thermosyphon component has now been directly coupled with the new TYPE1 (Component 201) collector component so that all the collector characterizing functions in Type1 can be included in a thermosyphon system simulation. Also all the features of the stratified tank component are now available as options in the thermosyphon component. In addition to the extension of the collector and tank features, the thermosyphon loop analysis has been extended to include 1) Heat exchanger thermosyphon circuits 2) Serpentine Collectors 3) Thermal cut off Valve 4) Reverse Circulation in Thermosyphon Systems REF: TRNSYS Extensions for Australian Solar Products by G.
