Parameters that describe the performance of the heat pump, and design quantities such as temperatures and design mass flow rates of the heat pump.
The performance table in datHea are used to
describe the change in performance for off-design conditions. The
heat pump's heating capacity is, however, determined solely by the
parameters QHeaDes_flow_nominal for the desired
heating capacity at the leaving condenser temperature
THeaConLvg_nominal and the leaving evaporator
temperature THeaEvaLvg_nominal. The performance table
for the evaporator heat flow rate and the electricity consumption
are then scaled up or down to meet this capacity. This scaled
capacity is stored in datHeaSca, and used during the
simulation.
The record also computes the cooling capacity at the design
conditions TCooConLvg_nominal and
TCooEvaLvg_nominal, and stores it in the parameter
QCooAct_flow_nominal. This can then be compared to the
desired cooling capacity QCooDes_flow_nominal.
The model also computes the COP for heating and for cooling at
the design temperatures THeaConLvg_nominal and
THeaEvaLvg_nominal for heating and
TCooConLvg_nominal and TCooEvaLvg_nominal
for cooling. These are for reporting only and not used in the heat
pump model.
