modelAirToWater

Air-to-water heat pump

Extends from Buildings.Templates.Components.BaseClasses.PartialHeatPumpTableData2DLoadDep.

Information

This is a model for an air-to-water heat pump where the capacity and input power are computed by interpolating manufacturer data along the condenser entering or leaving temperature, the evaporator entering or leaving temperature and the part load ratio. The model can be configured to represent either a non-reversible (heating-only) heat pump (is_rev=false) or a reversible heat pump (is_rev=true).

This model is a wrapper for Buildings.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.TableData2DLoadDep, which the user may refer to for the modeling assumptions. Note that, by default, internal safeties in this model are disabled.

Control points

Refer to the documentation of the base class Buildings.Templates.Components.BaseClasses.PartialHeatPumpTableData2DLoadDep for a description of the available control input and output variables.
