Re: [TRNSYS-users] type 505 water source heat pump
Beatrice,
We did some work awhile ago to look at whether the performance of
various kinds of HVAC equipment scale linearly or not. We looked at
things like Capacity divided by RatedCapacity and PowerUse divided by
RatedPower and we looked at them over a wide range of operating
conditions. We found that among the HVAC components that we looked at,
heat pumps (water source, air source, etc.) and chillers (both water and
air cooled) scale very well and very linearly. The one caveat is that at
very low part load ratio, the type of compressor used in the device does
matter. In general, it is fine to leave the normalized performance data
files alone and to enter the capacity, flow rates, and rated power as
parameters to the model.
Best,
David

Dear Trnsys users,
I would like to use type 505 (water to water heat pump module) to
simulation a geothermal source heat pump system. According to the the
pre-calculation, the heating and cooling demand of the space is much
higher than the normalized power in the data file. as I currently
understand (from a response explained to one of the 505 user),
generally we can scale the rated capacity, flow rate and power of the
device without having to create different data files each time.
Could anybody explain more how to scale the data file? Is it linearly
proportion? or show me an example if possible.
Thanks in advance
Beatrice
