When

This error can occure during the action(s) :

Example

In following example model

...

Reason

...

, the two radiators are designed with a different temperature regime :

  • radiator 1 : 70°C/50°C

  • radiator 2 : 60°C/40°C

On the dividing node, we see the “Supply temperature mismatch“ error.

...

Reason

It is physically impossible to have multiple design supply temperatures on the dividing node. Fluid that enters the node, will have the same temperature in both outgoing branches.

How to fix

This error needs to be fixed on the secondary side (downstream) of the dividing node.

Check the supply temperatures that you entered downstream of the node, and make sure that all supply temperatures become equal.

Additional info

Before October 2022, this error only resulted in a warning in the software. From October 2022, we treat this issue as an error, because due to this mismatch, it is impossible to correctly calculate upstream design flows.
