Re: [TRNSYS-users] modeling a DX GSHP

<I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on what to use in SimStudio to
model a DX GSHP with refrigerant as the heat transfer fluid.  I would
appreciate any help.  Thanks.>

Matt,

While there are a few ways to "trick" the system into modeling DX GSHP
systems, your best bet is to probably write a new model that accounts for
the refrigerant change of phase and the ground heat transfer.  We've been
thinking about writing one of these for a while but haven't had a project
where we NEEDED to write one....
