Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Reformulated Electric EIR chiller



Yiqun:

The COP of chiller is a function of part load ratio. It is mainly determined 
by the Energy Input to Cooling Output Ratio Function of Part Load Ratio 
Curve. When a normal electric chiller is used, the curve has an independent 
variable: part load ratio. For a reformulated chiller, the curve requires 
two independent variables: leaving condenser water temperature and part load 
ratio. Each independent variable has its min and max values. The maximum 
value of leaving condenser water temperature for the chiller you used is 
31.11C. The leaving water temperature you used is 35C. The curve function 
uses the maximum value to calculate curve value, when the input value is 
above the maximum value. After I use the leaving water temperature at 31.11, 
the part load curve shows the EIRFPLR increases with part load increases. 
Your statement is correct.

If you would like to compare COP for two types of chillers, you may need to 
ensure the same conditions are applied. For simplicity, you may use a 
spreadsheet to calculate the curve values.
