Information

This model provides declarations that auto-populate nominal mass flow rates and time constants (i.e. volumes) of the heat exchange based on the nominal electric power consumption of the chiller or heat pump. It is based on more than 20 datasets of water-to-water heat pumps from multiple manufacturers ranging from about 25 kW to 1 MW in nominal electric power consumption. The linear regressions with coefficients of determination above 91% give a good approximation of these parameters. Nevertheless, estimates for machines outside the given range should be checked for plausibility during simulation.
