Indeed, I had the same concern recently. Use the heat pump water
heater
component along with water tank:mixed (to connect condenser to
water loop,
DX:Coil:heatpumpwat
object to
use.
Still, there is a limitation for that: If the air entering the
evaporator is below 5?, the heat pump stops. In China, they do use
these
heat pumps for lower temperature even if COP is bad, that is a
problem I
could not avoid and if anyone has an idea, he/she is
welcome to
propose!
Mr Yiqun Pan, you are working in Shanghai? I am in Beijing and I
would be glad to discuss with you about models of EPlus that we
should
work on according to simulation use in China
