Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Continued Heat Pump Woes



JV,

 

Thanks for your analysis!   Instead of a borefield, I'm using a cooling tower and back up boiler, but your points are well taken.  I'll try some additional adjustments.

 

Thanks again.

 

Judy

Dear Judith,

I have NOT used that heat pump system. Your errors, though, suggest that:
1) You do not have enough capacity to get rid of heat. The high
pressure / high inlet side temp error probably occurs in the fall or
late summer when you've spent the previous month or so adding heat to
the borefield and the surrounding earth is now warmed up and unable to
take any more energy.
2) Perhaps the borefield is just too small and the same problem is
occurring in the winter. The theory would be that not only do you
overheat it in the summer, but cool it too quickly in the winter.

That's my "Armchair quarterback" opinion of the day. Hope it helps!
