.Buildings.Templates.Components.Data.HeatPump

Information

This record provides the set of sizing and operating parameters for heat pump models that can be found within Buildings.Templates.Components.HeatPumps.

Performance data for the equation fit model

When using typMod=Buildings.Templates.Components.Types.HeatPumpModel.EquationFit, the design values declared at the top-level are propagated by default to the performance data record per under the assumption that the reference conditions used for assessing the performance data match the design conditions. This avoids duplicate parameter assignments when manually entering the performance curve coefficients.

Note that this propagation does not persist when redeclaring or reassigning the record. This is because the equation fit method uses reference values that must match the ones used to compute the performance curve coefficients.

Also note that placeholders values are assigned to the performance curves, the reference source temperature and the input power in cooling mode to avoid assigning these parameters in case of non-reversible heat pumps. These values are unrealistic and must be overwritten for reversible heat pumps, which is always the case when redeclaring or reassigning the performance record per. Models that use this record will issue a warning if these placeholders values are not overwritten in case of reversible heat pumps.
