<div>I use the Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) unit Type 119c in a simulation of a container building in TRNSYS 18, since this seems to be the only ASHP type available. I need to add the two external .dat- files that contains the heating and cooling performance
data, respectively. I read in “09-Tutorials” page 163-164 that:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>“<em>The ASHP component model requires a data file that includes the performance map for the piece of equipment. This performance map is unique to the exact piece of equipment that is being modeled and you will need to produce this file from the manufacturer’s
performance data for the specific equipment being modeled</em>.” </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>T<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><font face="Calibri Regular">he component does not extrapolate beyond the data range provided, so we need to include data for outdoor temperatures between -5 °C and 40 °C (Shanghai climate).</font></span><font face="Times New Roman">
The indoor temperature is expected to be between <font face="Times New Roman">-5 °C and 50
<font face="Times New Roman">°C (due to that the heat pump is turned off when no one is at home).</font></font>
</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"></font><br>
</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"><font face="Times New Roman">I read “10.2.3.4 Resizing the PTHP Units” that says that the recommended method is to find a manufacturer of PTHP units online and to search through the available product literature to find a PTHP
that has a capacity as close as possible without being less than the peak total cooling or heating load required by the zone that will be conditioned by the PTHP. Do someone know any such online source that contain adequate information where I can search for
a similar product?</font></font></div>
<div data-signatureblock="true"></div>
<p class="defaultFont" data-signatureblock="true">Or do you recommend me to go for the second approach, to renormalize the example files ASHP_Cooling.dat and ASHP_Heating.dat that comes with TRNSYS to a different rated capacity? But my highest “return air dry
bulb temperature” and “Outdoor dry bulb temperature” are far higher than in these example files, so then I need to extrapolate the data. And how do I l<span>ocate the performance point in ASHP_Cooling.dat that corresponds to the rated point, as described in
<font face="Times New Roman Regular">10.2.3.4</font>? </span></p>
<p class="defaultFont" data-signatureblock="true"><span>I have also tried to model with ideal heater and cooler and divide the electric energy use for heating and cooling by their respective seasonal COP, but that is not accurate enough since I need to take
into account the variation in COP over the year.</span></p>

<div><font face="Times New Roman"></font>I tried to contact the manufacturer to get input data for the files and sent them the instructions from “4 Mathematical Reference” page 174-175 “Data Files” and the two example files ASHP_Cooling.dat and ASHP_Heating.dat
that comes with TRNSYS 18. The data they sent me, however, was not for constant air flow rates. For instance, for heating mode they sent me similar information as in the table below for various temperatures. The problem is that these data does not keep a set
of fixed temperatures and air flow rates, like in the example files.</div>
