I'm modeling a GSHP loop, with secondary loops for radiant heating and cooling. I'm using the water-to-water heat pump component to transfer heat from the GSHP loop to the secondary loops. Right now there is no flow in the radiant loops and I can't figure out why.

GSHP loop is set up like this, with the water-to-water heat pump on the demand side. image description

Radiant hot water loop is set up like this image description

I am really stuck on this. If anyone has any insights please let me know. Thank you!

The heat exchanger component can sometimes not be autosized correctly. It assumes a really high Delta T between the loops and it ends up being a really small flow. If you could upload your .osm file it would be easier to tell what's going on.

I modelled a similar scenario and I had the same issue.

I tried hard sizing the heat pump but that didn't have any effect. You can take a look at the file here if you have any other ideas. link text Thank you so much!

I have the same problem, I'm trying to create a radiant floor powered by a heat pump (Heat Pump Water Heater) in summer and by a chiller in winter. As in your case I have no flow, you could better explain these two points: - Adjusting the internal source constructions to make sure the radiant loops were between the right layers. - If using the constant flow radiant, changing the temperature schedules to be controlled by Outdoor Air Temp Instead of the zone air temp. Thank you so much
