[TRNSYS-users] Type 941(Air to water heat pump)

[David BRADLEY]

Muhammad,

   Please refer to the Type941 documentation. It explains how the 
external files and the parameters relate to each other to compute the 
overall capacity and power consumption of the heat pump.

   The evaporator does not really need to be designed more than to 
choose a machine with an appropriate rated capacity. Traditionally that 
might mean adding a safety factor to the peak cooling load (10% is often 
used) and then selecting a machine that will meet that capacity. Also 
bear in mind that Type941 models a single speed (ie single capacity) 
heat pump that is either on or off. Depending on how variable the load 
in your building it, you might want to meet that load with multiple 
smaller heat pumps rather than one big one.

kind regards,

  David
