[TRNSYS-users] COP curve inconsistency WW-HP

[Jeff Thornton]

Victor,

The best thing you can do to start  is to isolate the heat pump in a separate project and drive it with various inlet temperature and flow rates to make sure the performance of the machine matches the map.  When you’re sure it’s working correctly that’ll help you track down what’s happening with the rest of your project.

(which is also controlling the flow rate for both source side and load side pumps). So for the load side (connected to a vertical heat exchanger) there is only really small changes in temperature and the flow-rate goes from 0 to 0.5 to 1 following the number of H.Ps on.
