  Hello dear TRNSYS users

  What ever I change the first parameter for solar collector (number of
  collectors hooked up in series) nothing is happening in simulation
results.
  It sound this parameter has no effect in simulation, how come!?
  I tried this matter with TRNSYS samples exist in TRNSYS package also, but
  no effect observed
  I'll appreciate if any body explain this problem

  thanks in advance

Fardin,

The total area of the collector array is given by parameter 2 and is ot affected by parameter 1. So when you say there are 2 collectors in series, the only difference in performance will be due to a different temperature profile in the collector array (ususally that difference is very small). If you want to go from one collector to 2 collectors in series, you need to set par 1 to 2 AND double the array area (par 2)

Kind regards,

Michaël Kummert
