[TRNSYS-users] Modelling heat pump and air handling unit

[David Bradley]

Samir,
   In my opinion, the Type20 heat pump model is quite limited. It assumes 
that you have two sources from which heat can be provided and assumes that 
hot water (usually from solar) is one of them. Furthermore, it does not 
provide any cooling functions. There are some more flexible heat pump 
models available in the TESS HVAC Library if you have access to that.
   You can model part of an air handler using Type92 but doing so is a very 
simplified method; Type92 simply reports the amount of energy required to 
take a liquid flow stream from an inlet condition to a set point 
temperature. In combination with some other models (heat exchangers, pumps, 
and fans) you can approach modeling an air handler in this way but again 
there are some more flexible models available in the HVAC Library add-on. 
If you are interested in more information about the HVAC library, you can

Cheers,
  David
