Heat source part-load performance

Post by la_bets »

Hi,

I was wondering why the performance on part-load heat source model is limited to 500%. I need to model a water-source heat pump, whose COP is higher that 5. How can I do this?

Thanks
Bets

Hi,

This was improved in the last hotfix we put out for 6.3 (it was reduced again erroneously, sorry!). The 6.3.0.1 Release Note:

Maximum Part-Load Heat Source Efficiency [ID-0039047]:- The maximum value that can be entered for part-load heat source efficiency is 2000%.

You can download it form our website NOW!
