Hi, I'm trying to break down the fan power from the System 4 performance. I've read this answer: https://unmethours.com/question/27720...

I use the Ashrae 2007 SI edition and if I use the following data (as an example): Cooling 39 kW (autosize) so I consider a power of 40 kW that is 136486 btu/h Considering the table 6.8.1B I have a COP of 3.16 (as of 1/1/2010)

I apply the formula: 7.8410^-8EERQ+0.338EER = 7.8410^-83.16136486+0.3383.16 = 1.10

So I get a COP of 1,10 that seems very low. Is there a mistake? Is it correct to level up the cooling power to the higher interval (39 kW to 40 kW)?

The issue is the use of the COP where the expression requires EER. Using the COP of 3.16 you reference, that is an EER of 10.78. NOTE: my IP 90.1-2007 has slightly different EER ratings than what you are referencing. It has EER= 10.6 which is a COP of 3.1067. Minor, but may impact answer.

COP_nfcooling = 7.84e-8(10.78)*(136480)+0.338(10.78) = 0.115 + 3.644 = 3.759 where "nf" = no fan I believe.

Unsure why you bumped the cooling capacity from 39 kW to 40kW. any reason?

The expressions in the post you linked from @"Anna Osborne Brannon" should work for the heating COP as well.

Hi, finally I solved it using an IP 90.1 version I found, but I was not sure about the result. I got the same results as yours and now I'm sure about it, thank you!

About bumping the capacity from 39 to 40, I just found it in this document (https://www.energizect.com/sites/defa...) page 39: the reason why is not explained, so I think I won't do it.
