    <p>The connection between the file containing loads and Type682 is
      usually done through Type9.</p>
    <p>Your other question is a good bit harder to answer because
      everything depends on the details of the system that you are
      trying to model. The fundamental problem is probably that you have
      hourly loads (energy rate control) while the heat pump model is a
      temperature level control device that is expecting a thermostat or
      some other kind of controller to give it an on/off signal. In the
      real building, the heat pump would turn on and off as needed over
      the course of the hour to maintain room temperatures. However, the
      data file contains the total hourly load so you have to recreate,
      somehow, the part load performance of the heat pump. Here is where
      things depend on your system:</p>
    <p>One solution is to define a thermal storage tank that circulates
      liquid through Type682. You can then define an aquastat that
      senses the tank temperature and turns on and off a heat pump in
      order to maintain the tank at its desired set point.</p>
    <p>Another solution would be to define a piping loop that has a
      number of Types 682 along its length as well as some heat pumps to
      maintain temperature within a defined range.</p>
    <p>Yet another solution is to use the heat pump as a virtual
      component, giving it the ambient and return conditions and getting
      back it's COP so that you can estimate its power consumption
      without modeling its on/off behavior.<br>
