[TRNSYS-users] water-water heat pump simulation

Jacopo,

  This is a little bit tricky; the problem is that the loads you have 
are presumably instantaneous heating and cooling loads. If your delivery 
device were something without a lot of thermal mass (like zonal heat 
pumps or some fan coils) then I would recommend that you impose the 
loads directly onto the liquid stream. However, the radiant floor has a 
lot of thermal mass of its own. I think the best approach would be to 
impose your loads on a lumped capacitance that is tuned to mimic the 
zone. Then you can define a radiant floor using Type653 in order to 
control the temperature of the lumped capacitance that has your original 
building loads imposed upon it.

kind regards,

  David
