2015-07-22 05:08:44 -0500 | asked a question | Trouble with the HVAC setting Dear all, I am simulation a building using Openstudio and E+. The HVAC system is composted by a multifunctional heat pump (it makes simultaneously heating and cooling), a ground water condenser and cooled beams as air terminals that provided both the cooling and the heating in the zones. I have used the CentralHeatPumpSystem to simulate the multifunctional heat pump. I have used the PlantComponent:TemperatureSource to simulate the ground water used as condenser I have used the FourPipeInduction Air terminals to simulate the cooled beams. I can't understand why the simulation doesn't work properly and I have problems with the sizing of the objects and the convergence of the temperature. Has someone of you any idea how should I do to solve this issue? I attach the idf below. Thank you very much Have a nice day Elena part of the error message: (more) |
2015-06-29 03:07:15 -0500 | commented answer | How could I model multi-functional Heat Pump and a Ground Water Exchanger? Thank you Annie for your help. By checking in E+ Guide I found Vertical Heat Exchanger, Pond Heat Exchanger, Surface Heat Exchanger and Horizontal Trench Ground Heat Exchanger. All these objects have a close water loop. What I have to simulate is a condenser system that exploits ground water that comes from an aquifer. The water taken from the aquifer is pumped directly in a heat exchanger (fluid to fluid) and then rejected in the water main. The only way I found to simulate an open loop like this is by using the object WaterUse:Well. Do you think this is the right conclusion? Thank u again! |

2015-06-24 11:39:29 -0500 | asked a question | How could I model multi-functional Heat Pump and a Ground Water Exchanger? Dear All, I am trying to model a multifunctional heat pump (produces heating and cooling at the same time) that uses ground water in the condenser loop. My idea is to use an air loop connected to a chilled water loop and a hot water loop connected again to 2 condenser loops. The condenser loops operate with a vertical ground heat exchanger. The vertical ground heat exchangers simulate to exchange with water because I couldn't find a way to simulate a ground water heat exchanger. In Openstudio I'm not able to model a water to water heat pump so I put a EIR chiller in the model just to have the nodes available, then in the IDF I change the chiller with the water to water heat pump. And these are my questions: Anyone of you have already tried to do a multifunctional heat pump and have some suggestion? How could I implement the control strategy of the heat exchange between the chilled water loop and the hot water loop to produce at the same time heating and cooling saving electric energy? Anyone of you have already tried to do a ground water heat exchanger and could help me? Thank you very much have a nice day Elena |

2015-06-18 11:00:38 -0500 | asked a question | Four pipe induction terminal: blank field in node definition Dear all, I am new with Openstudio. I am simulating a building conditioned by four pipe cooled beams. To do this I used HW CHW Four Pipe Induction Terminals. Modeling the system, I see that it works properly if I simulate a single zone with only one HW CHW Four Pipe Induction Terminal. If I do the same with more than one zone, it occours that the "Thermal Zone Exhaust Node List" has 2 nodes instead of one, as in my opinion it should be. Consequently these two fields are blank: " !- Induced Air Inlet Node Name" and " !- Air Inlet Node Name". If I go inside the IDF exported and I choose one of the two nodes and I fill these spaces it works properly. This is the error I see running Openstudio: * Severe * IP: IDF line~31436 Error detected in Object=AIRTERMINAL:SINGLEDUCT:CONSTANTVOLUME:FOURPIPEINDUCTION, name=HW CHW FOUR PIPE INDUCTION TERMINAL 1 * ~~~ * Field [Induced Air Inlet Node Name] is required but was blank This is the way that I fix it in EnergyPlus: NodeList,
