[TRNSYS-users] Heat Pump mass flow rates (e.g. Type 401)

[David BRADLEY]

Michael,
   I would recommend that you look online at manufacturer's sites for 
similarly sized heat pumps. Trane and Carrier both have significant 
amounts of performance data in the product literature parts of their 
sites. You can probably get a good estimate of the flow rates on both 
the condenser and evaporator sizes from them.
Best,
  david
