Audun,
It is sometimes possible to make a plot of the normalized data in the
*.dat files that are provided and then to normalize and overlay the data
points that you have from the manufacturer. Patterns in the data files
and in the manufacturer data may become evident and you can fill in the
remainder of the points in the data file and also intelligently
extrapolate beyond the data that is given in those *.dat files.
My larger concern is that it looks to me as though the heat pump you
are working with is a variable capacity (perhaps a variable speed
compressor) machine while Type119 is a single capacity device that is
either on or off and whose performance (cooling capacity, heating
capacity, and COP) are a function primarily of the ambient temperatures
but /not/ of part load. I have written a variable speed compressor heat
pump model but like Type119 it still requires a performance map data file.
kind regards,
David
