Information

This model uses two-dimensional table data typically given by manufacturers as required by e.g. European Norm 14511 or ASHRAE 205 to calculate QCon_flow and PEle.

For different condenser outlet and evaporator inlet temperatures, the tables must provide two of the three following values: electrical power consumption, evaporator heat flow rate, and COP.

Note that losses are often implicitly included in measured data. In this case, the frosting modules should be disabled.

Scaling factor

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(TEva_nominal, TCon_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

Known Limitations

• Manufacturers are not required to provide the compressor speed at which the data are measured. Thus, nominal values may be obtained at different compressor speeds and, thus, efficiencies. To accurately model the available thermal output, please check that you use tables of the maximal thermal output, which is often provided in the data sheets from the manufacturers. This limitation only holds for inverter driven heat pumps.
• We assume that the efficiency is contant over the whole compressor speed range. Typically, effciencies will drop at minimal and maximal compressor speeds. To model an inverter controlled heat pump, the relative compressor speed yMea is used to scale the ouput of the tables linearly. For a model that uses the part load performance data, use Buildings.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.TableData2DLoadDep or Buildings.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.TableData2DLoadDepSHC, which uses Buildings.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.RefrigerantCycle.TableData2DLoadDep or Buildings.Fluid.HeatPumps.ModularReversible.RefrigerantCycle.TableData2DLoadDepSHC, respectively. For models including the compressor speed, check the SDF-Library dependent refrigerant cycle models in the AixLib Library.
