vary during the operation of the heat pump. </span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class=""><br class="" style=""></span></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16.363636016845703px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">Now my question is how does Trnsys deal with extraplation, in other wards how does Trnsys calculate the COP </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;" class=""> </span><span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;" class="">values</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; background-color: transparent;"
