[EnergyPlus_Support] How to model an air-cooled scroll-type heat pump



The design system is as follows:

- heat pump
- compressor is scroll-type
- heat sink is air
- heat pump produces chilled water and hot water
- cooled or heated air is blown into the zones

We are considering using the object Coil:Cooling:WaterToAirHeatPump:ParameterEstimation and Coil:Heating:WaterToAirHeatPump:ParameterEstimation to model the system.  However, in the E+ example file folder we could only find examples with ground source heat exchanger as the heat sink.  In our case, the heat pump is air-cooled, which means the heat sink is outdoor air.  We don't know how to model that.  Or, we should use another object?


Please help.  Thank you!
