Hello,

I am trying to use the SolarCollector:FlatPlate object in EnergyPlus to reduce the load on the boiler to provide heat for my space and swimming pool. I'm unfamiliar with this object and I don't know how to set it up correctly. I have read through the E+ documentation on the object, and I have looked through the example file for the object but I am still getting the following warnings in my simulation.

* Warning * GetSpecificHeatGlycol: Temperature is out of range (too high) for fluid [WATER] specific heat * * ~~~ * ..Called From:UpdatePlantLoopInterface,Temperature=[198.57], supplied data range=[0.00,125.00] * ~~~ * Environment=LETHBRIDGE ANN CLG .4% CONDNS DB=>MWB, at Simulation time=07/21 00:00 - 00:10 * Warning * GetDensityGlycol: Temperature is out of range (too high) for fluid [WATER] density * * ~~~ * ..Called From:PlantPumps:CalcPumps: ,Temperature=[198.50], supplied data range=[0.00,100.00] * ~~~ * Environment=LETHBRIDGE ANN CLG .4% CONDNS DB=>MWB, at Simulation time=07/21 00:00 - 00:10 * Warning * GetSpecificHeatGlycol: Temperature is out of range (too low) for fluid [WATER] specific heat supplied values * * ~~~ * ..Called From:UpdateSolarCollector,Temperature=[-28.33], supplied data range=[0.00,125.00] * ~~~ ** Environment=LETHBRIDGE ANN HTG 99.6% CONDNS DB, at Simulation time=01/21 05:10 - 05:20

I can't figure out what is causing the the temperature to be too high or too low. I have tried raising and lowering the flow rate of the water through the plate, but that did not solve the problem.

I am grateful for any ideas. Thank you.
