style='font-size:12.0pt'>I am confused about the SEER and IPLV ratings.
What temperature bin do they use to calculate these numbers? It would
seem to me that an AC system in the south would operate at a higher load
throughout the cooling season than one in the northeast. Of course, it
would depend on how the system was sized. An oversized system will
operate at a much lower load ratio than a tightly sized system.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt'>As far as I am concerned, IPLV is a mythical number,
like SEER. It is based on assumed levels of usage for a pumed annual usage.
If your truly need part load curves, ask the manufacturer for the 75%, 50%
and 25% points. You cannot evolve these four numbers out of a single mnumber
(IPLV).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

a school model located in Lakeside, <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place

mount heat pumps (capacity – 2 to 4 tons), really old one. I got
manufacture data of the old and new units for replacement. The new units data
has EER, IPLV and COP ratings. I would prefer to use IPLV instead of
EER rating in case of cooling to calculate savings. The eQuest
does have options for EER and SEER but not for IPLV in the schematic design
wizard. What should I do here? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
