[esp-r] Slab-on-grade hydronic floor / WCH converging 2-leg junction

[Udo Schuster]

Dear all, dear Mr Laouadi,

I am trying to create a cubical zone with one embedded slab in each of 
the six surfaces.
Is this possible in general?

To start simple, I reduced the problem to two slabs.
I created two control files which refer to the same zone.
The problem is, that only one control loop can be linked to the zone and 
therefore only
one slab that can be linked to the zone.

In consequence, I tried two build the cubical out of several zones. I 
could link now one control loop
to one zone, but now I have problems at component level:

I have the following components in my plant:
- 1 source (air & water temperature source)
- 1 pump
- 2 slabs
- 2 2-leg junctions

As a link between pump and slab I chose the WCH converging 2-leg 
junction at both ends of a slab.
When I run the simulation, I have problems with the converging 2-leg 
junction. Can I also use it as a diverging 2-leg junction
or do I need a seperate component? I already scanned the component list, 
but could find only water flow diverger
which don't seem to fit.

Can anybody help me?


Kind regards
Udo
