Fernando,
I understand better now.
Consider:
I do not see any object which uses the water such as WaterUse:Equipment. If there is no water use, the load will be zero.
In this case, HPHW Use Inlet Node must be connected to a water use.
(I cannot spend more time on this for several hours. I hope this helps!)
WaterHeater: Mixed
Coil:
WaterHeater: HeatPump

Subject: [EnergyPlus_ Support] Re: Problems with Heat Pump AirToWater
Mr. James V Dirkes II
I´m glad and aprecciate your atention gave in this simulation!
I understand what you mean and I agree with you when I talk about
HeatPump:WaterToAir , but in this case it´s AirToWater, I will explain below.
About the heating system, In my simulation I have an Heat Pump Water Heater,
this object provides a model taht is compound object consisting of a water
heater tank, a direct expansion (DX) "coil" and a fan to provide air
flow. In my case the location of DX Coil compressor it´s outdoor and the water
heater tank it´s located in the zone.
Following the documentation and the example file (HeatPumpWaterHeate r file) I
don´t have use AirLoopHVAC, because in the field of Heat Pump Water Heater I
connecting the three components (DX Coil, Water Heater tank and a fan.
My question it´s still I have use an AirLoopHVAC, since the DX Coil has been
connected to the WaterPumpWaterHeate r!? Now I´m a little bit confused... Can
you explain better this procedure...
Thanks for your support and atention!
Best Regards
