[EnergyPlus_Support] How to



Hi,

I'm having a little trouble getting my head around how to model a particular chiller in EnergyPlus. Unfortuantely it is not one of the default models included.

I have limited data regarding the chiller operation - basically the cooling load and absorbed power at 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% cooling demand. So I can generate a COP curve, but not relate COP to temperature, which seems to be required to fully model a chiller in E+.

Is there any reasonable default data for a small (230kW cooling) air-cooled chiller? Or is the only solution to try and  get more manufacturers data and build a complete model? Any other options?

Thanks!
