TYPE258:DIVERTINGVALVE Type258 models a multiple-port fluid diverting valve where the enthalpy of the fluid is considered to be a quadratic function of temperature.

TYPE259:SOLARFIELDPIPING Type259 models a fluid-filled pipe using the concept of isothermal nodes. This subroutine is unlike other pipe models in that the change in fluid properties with temperature is accounted for in the model.

TYPE260:MIXINGVALVE Type260 models a multiple-port fluid mixing valve (tee piece) where the enthalpy of the fluid is considered to be a quadratic function of temperature.

TYPE261:EXPANSIONTANK Type261 models a variable-volume, fluid-filled storage tank. The fluid in the storage tank is assumed to be fully mixed (no stratification). This subroutine accounts for the change in fluid properties with temperature. This subroutine is often used in closed loop piping projects to model the impact of changing fluid volume with temperature.
