TRNFlow
When you purchase TRNFlow you will receive the following:
- The TRNFlow program
- The TRNFlow manual
- Technical support from TESS for as long as you own TRNFlow
- Free online updates to TRNFlow
TRNSYS thermal mutlizone building model, type 56, requires air flows between zones as input values. However, in natural ventilation systems these depend on the wind pressures and the inside and outside temperatures. To account for this situation, a coupling with an air flow model is absolutely necessary. TRNFLOW integrates the multi-zone air flow model COMIS into the type 56. An internal solver, optimized for this task, iterates in each time step between the two models until their solutions are consistent. The existing GUI TRNBuild was extended in such a way that data for the air flow model can be entered. Thus a user-friendly handling of the coupling is assured. With TRNFLOW, a immense step forward has been made for building simulation with TRNSYS.
