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
for 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 Curve
s which can be referenced?
