Roberto, I would not use the heating type manager in TRNBuild; what that does is to impose a set point temperature on the building and have Type56 calculate the required load that should be met by the heat pump. The heat pump, however, does not take a load input. It takes inlet conditions and calculates outlet conditions. Instead, I would recommend that you define a ventilation stream in your Type56 zone (using the ventilation type manager in TRNBuild) with temperature, flow rate, and RH as INPUTS. Then pass the heat pump outlet conditions to the new Type56 inputs. You'll also need to define a thermostat that watches the zone temperature and turns the heat pump on and off. There is a tutorial that will give you some hints as to how to do this. It can be found at: http://sel.me.wisc.edu/trnsys/downloads/tutorials_and_examples/tutex.htm "Temperature Level Control from Energy Rate Control , using the TRNSYS 16 Restaurant Example" Best, David caria.roberto@tiscali.it wrote: dear trnsys users, I have simulated an heat pump and now I'd like to connect it with Trnbuild to understand if its power is acceptable to heating and cooling load: set point temperature of zone is 20°C for winter and 26°C for summer, how can I do it? Perhaps I just have to link heating/cooling power obtained from heat pump with limited mode on "Heating Type Manager" and set temperature on 20/26°C or is there a specific type? I use only standard library. Thanks Roberto Presentaci un amico!
