Generate performance data from heat pump modelΒΆ
This example demonstrates the use of the heat pump module to calculate the heat pump heating capacity and power input. For a given set of parameters, the heating capacity and power input is calculated for various combinations of inlet water temperatures and mass flow rates at the evaporator and condenser inlets.
Results from the heat pump model are saved into the file Buildings/Resources/src/fluid/heatpumps/calibration/Examples/somePerformanceData.txt.
The following script can be found in Buildings/Resources/src/fluid/heatpumps/calibration/Examples/example_calibration.py:

""" Example use of the heat pump model to generate performance data.
This script demonstrates the use of the heat pump model to generate performance
data. Data is generated for a heat pump with a scroll compressor and some
combinations of inlet water temperatures and mass flow rates on the source
and load sides. The resulting performance data is written to a text file.
