"Defrost Energy Input Ratio Modifier Function of Temperature Curve" is missing
I found a bug related to HVACTemplate:System:VRF. I tried with EnergyPlus v9-6-0.
I got the following severe error, and the simulation terminated when I selected ReverseCycle as Defrost Strategy:
** Severe ** AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow, "VRF_2-47F_T2_FLAT_1 VRF HEAT PUMP" Defrost Energy Input Ratio Modifier Function of Temperature Curve Name not found.
It's because Defrost Energy Input Ratio Modifier Function of Temperature Curve Name in AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow was left blank in the auto-created expidf file.
I looked for the curve in ExampleFiles which incluede HVACTemplate:System:VRF or AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow as a reference, but I couldn't find it because as far as I looked, all of their Defrost Strategy were Resistive, not ReverseCycle.
My question is: Are there any Defrost Energy Input Ratio Modifier Function of Temperature Curves which can be referenced?
Seems related to this issue: https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlus/is...
Oh, exactly. Was it left unresolved for a long time? It's ok, but I'd like to know the default curve if any.
