This model uses three-dimensional table data possibly given
by manufacturers or estimated using other tools, such as VCLibPy, to calculate
QCon_flow
and PEle
.
Note that losses are often implicitly included in measured data. In this case, the frosting modules should be disabled.
For the scaling factor, the table data for condenser heat flow rate (QConTabDat_flow
)
is evaluated at nominal conditions. Hence, the scaling factor is
scaFac = QCon_flow_nominal/QConTabDat_flow(TCon_nominal, TEva_nominal, y_nominal).
Using scaFac
, the table data is scaled linearly.
This implies a constant COP over different design sizes:
QCon_flow = scaFac * tabQCon_flow.y
PEle = scaFac * tabPel.y
