Generating Heat Pump Coefficients From Manufacturers Data

Hello.

I am trying to create the coefficients of performance of GSHP, using heatpump-watertowater-watertoair-spreadsheets. Excel fails to compute. Somebody can look at the data presented?

Attached the following information:

  • Manufacturer's table

C:\fakepath\Manufacturerstable_Página_1.png

C:\fakepath\Manufacturerstable_Página_2.png

  • Required data input table

I haven´t flow rate data.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using another method besides excel to create the curve coefficients? I used Python to regress VRV coefficients: http://bim-source.com/2012/06/creatin...

There are 2 issues here.

The first being the lack of water flow data in heating mode.

  • If you have data for cooling mode, you could use the same values for heating mode.
  • I would review the manufacturers performance data again to be sure heating water flow rates are not mentioned somewhere in the documentation.

The second issue is the use of only a single value for any variable in these tables, in your case the water flow rates.

  • The coefficients for these variables will not regress and will probably wind up as useless if not 0.
  • The system should use these flow rates as constants during the simulation (no variation at all) since the regression does not include any variation in these values.
