[Equest-users] Heat pump Water heater

[Brian Fountain]

Yes and yes.

There is indeed a heat pump type DHW heater in eQUEST.  Note that this is an air source heater with the condenser outside.  As such, the COP diminishes quite a bit from the rated value in colder climates.

If instead you have a water source heat pump with a relatively stable condenser temperature and COP, I tend to model with an electric DHW heater with an EIR of 1/COP.

CAUTION: EXTERNAL SENDER
Is there such an animal in eQuest or is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance.
