[TRNSYS-users] TYPE 666 Chiller Queries

[Jeff Thornton]

Well if you look carefully at your plots, power is not "almost
constant". Change the scale of the power plot and you'll see the spikes
that you are observing in your COP. Have you spot-checked your
performance map by running the chiller at "known conditions" and seeing
that you're getting out of your model what you are expecting?

seems that the chiller COP has a lot of unexplainable spikes and

Power consumed by the chiller remaining almost constant.

understand that in TRNSYS, COP=Qmet/P, if both the Qmet and P are
relatively constant, what could be causing the spike observed in the COP
?
