Heated Floor HVAC Setpoint Behaviour

edit

Hello All,

I am working with a ZoneHVAC:LowTemperatureRadiant:VariableFlow for two zone (Bedroom and Kitchen in IDF). The object looks like this.

ZoneHVAC:LowTemperatureRadiant:VariableFlow,

Here the TSetHeat is an External Schedule that I have from BCVTB. It is fixed at 20degC.

Temperature,              !- Schedule Type Limits Name
20;                       !- Initial Value

Also, I am forcing the Water Mass Flow Rate into the Heated Flow to 0.01 kg/s using another External Interface.

EXTERNALINTERFACE:Actuator,
Water_Mass_Flow_Rate_HOUSE_BEDROOM_HEATED_FLOOR,    !- Name
HOUSE:BEDROOM HEATED FLOOR,                         !- Actuated Component Unique Name
Hydronic Low Temp Radiant,                          !- Actuated Component Type
Water Mass Flow Rate;                               !- Actuated Component Control Type

But in the simulation, I do not get either of the Theromstat Setpoint or Mass flow as constat. Below is the plot for the Output Variable Zone Thermostat Heating Setpoint Temperature and Zone Radiant HVAC Mass Flow Rate.

Why is this so? Why they are not constant? How to determine the Setpoint of the Thermostat in this case?
