Hi!

I'm modelling an AHU (Air Handling Unit) which has a system called "heat pipe" as you can see in the picture below.

C:\fakepath\Esquema clima .png

I've been looking for information on how to model this type of system but haven't found anything. Any ideas?

I've seen that in EnergyPlus there is the object: CoilSystem:CoolingWater:HeatExchangerAssiste, which works similarly but i haven't found it in OpenStudio.

Thanks :)

I have a system that produces hot water with a heat pump. Now I want to add a hot water tank to soften the peaks in demand.

I'm using: WaterHeater:Mixed with 0W but I don't understand the difference between "Use side inlet node name" and "Source side inlet node name".

2022-06-08 06:25:38 -0500 marked best answer Air-Water heat pump in EnergyPlus?

Hi!,

I'm simulating a building that uses an air-water heat-pump to produce hot water. The Fan-coil and UTAs use hot water but is impossible to associate my heat pump with these systems.

The solution I have found is to use a boiler with efficiency 1 and calculate the real consumption using the COP of the heat pump.

The problem is that I need use Jeplus to calibrate the COP but its not an input variable.

Is there a way to define a hot water production system to which I can introduce the COP of my heat pump?

Thank you!
