Re: [TRNSYS-users] Air-air heat pump: performance data files

[David BRADLEY <d.bradley@tess-inc.com>]

Jacopo,

 It may be that the evaporator temperatures in the default heating performance file do not correspond with the range of evaporator temperatures that are occurring during your simulation. Type954 is able to interpolate within the range of temperatures (and flow rates, etc.) that is given in the file. However, it cannot extrapolate beyond the range of numbers given. If you have COP values for ambient temperatures from 5C to 20C in the data file but the ambient temperature in your weather data is consistently below 5C then the COP corresponding to 5C would always be returned. Have a look in your *.log file; if the data file is often being accessed with temperatures above or below the range there will be a warning written there.

kind regards,

 David

Dear all,

 

i’m using the type 954 to model an air-to-air heat pump. Analyzing the results of my simulation, the COP is almost constant during the heating working. I’m using the default performance data file. The problem is only for the heating working, while the COP varies for the cooling working.

I can suppose there is some problem with the default heating performance data.

Can u help me please?

 

I try to attach an image of COP curve:

 

Thanks.

 

Best regards,
