<p class="MsoNormal">Hi David,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">in my heating performance data, the normalized capacity and power values depend on outdoor temperature until -19 °C. My minimum ambient temperature is aroud -5 °C.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During the simulation I have the following warning, repeated for several hours:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“the referenced unit has called the psychrometrics routine with humidity ratio above the saturation humidity ratio for the given dry bulb temperature. The air was assumed saturated at the given dry bulb temperature and the humidity ratio
set for this condition.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This error is referred to the type 960.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could be this the problem of a constant COP during the heating simulation?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Really thank you.</p>

<p>Jacopo,</p>
<p> It may be that the evaporator temperatures in the default heating performance file do not correspond with the range of evaporator temperatures that are occurring during your simulation. Type954 is able to interpolate within the range of temperatures (and
flow rates, etc.) that is given in the file. However, it cannot extrapolate beyond the range of numbers given. If you have COP values for ambient temperatures from 5C to 20C in the data file but the ambient temperature in your weather data is consistently
below 5C then the COP corresponding to 5C would always be returned. Have a look in your *.log file; if the data file is often being accessed with temperatures above or below the range there will be a warning written there.</p>
<p>kind regards,</p>
<p> David</p>
