Revision history [back]

By "hybrid GSHP", I mean a ground-source heat pump system that has supplementary cooling and heating equipment (e.g., a fluid cooler and a boiler). The supplementary equipment allows use of smaller borefield. The smaller borefield can handle loads for most operating hours and the supplementary equipment operates only when the borefield runs out of capacity. I have searched the E+ example files and did not find one, so I hope I'm missing something, since it's a fairly common design strategy. Thanks in advance.
