Hello, I'm trying to model an air to water heat pump with the object Coil:WaterHeating:AirToWaterHeatPump:Pumped. I did it a couple of times and I've always had problems to calculate rated sensible heat ratio.
This field is critical because I always get the error during simulation: "Calculated outlet air relative humidity greater than 1. The combination of rated air volume flow rate, total cooling capacity and sensible heat ratio yields coil exiting air conditions above the saturation curve. Possible fixes are to reduce the rated total cooling capacity, increase the rated air volume flow rate, or reduce the rated sensible heat ratio for this coil."
I saw this error here in other questions but I couldn't find a valid answer. It is defined as: "gross sensible cooling capacity divided by gross total cooling capacity".
My question is simply this: what cooling is it referring to? I'm trying to model a heat pump in heating mode. If E+ is considering (as I thought) the cooling of outside air (source side), to calculate it correctly I should have the absorbed heat from the outside evaporator but I've never seen this data in a technical sheet.
Is there a method to calculate it? Should I consider it as: Total cooling = Heating power CC - Electrical power PI ?
Considering Eurovent standard I have outdoor air with 85% RH so that with the total cooling (the only data I miss) it could be possible to calculate the SHR.
Thank you
