model a water to water heat pump (Equation Fit Approach)

How can I model a water to water heat pump between a solar collector and water heater.

Is there any example file from energyplus? In addition of the documentation, as I went through it but is not clear to me the steps.

Note: This model is a special case as usually water to water heat pumps are made to perform with ground source heat exchangers.

model a Solar PVT with water to water heat pump (Equation Fit Approach)

How can I model a water to water heat pump between a solar collector and water heater.Hi, Thanks your response!

Is there any example file from energyplus? I have exactly done what you suggested. In addition this case I decided to connect the wwhp between the solar collectors and water heater (E_Schematic). The diagram, and the idfile is also attached in this email. However, I am getting an error that I cannot figure out. I do not know why it is requesting me or providing me an error of placing a pump at each plant loop. I am trying to avoid the documentation, as heatExchanger, but if it is required to finish the modelling I went through it but is not clear to me the steps. will do so.

Note: This model is a special case as usually water to water heat pumps are made to perform with ground source heat exchangers.Please, any suggestions?
