How to get VRF Performance Curve Output Value
I would like to get the output values of VRF performnance curves for validation purpose.
I tested with an ExampleFile VariableRefrigerantFlow_5Zone.idf (V25-2-0). The output values of the following curves are -999 throughout the year, which indicates the curves are inactive or unused.
Cooling Combination Ratio Correction Factor CurvePiping Correction Factor for Length in Cooling Mode Curve
FYI, the Output:Variable settings are as follows.
Output:Variable,
COOLINGCOMBRATIO, !- Key Value
Performance Curve Output Value , !- Variable Name
Hourly; !- Reporting Frequency
Output:Variable,
CoolingLengthCorrectionFactor, !- Key Value
Performance Curve Output Value , !- Variable Name
Hourly; !- Reporting Frequency
For 1, it will not be used when CR is less than 1. I reduced the heat pump's Gross Rated Total Cooling Capacity by hardsizing it, but I still got -999.
For 2, I changed the performance curve coefficients, and the cooling energy use changed. So, the curve is actualy used.
I tested all types of Reporting Frequency, but in vain.
How can I get the output of the two curves?
