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





May I ask what is a "scroll type" compressor.
 
I have not check the data base folder for this type.  I think, it is only the performance curves are different in the simulation.
 
As far as I know, it does not matter whether it is a heat pump or an EIR when it is used for chiller only.
 
Condenser is to air, therefore, no condenser loop is required.


Your design is a simple water chiller. 
 
Coil water to air, means the coil is water and the air flows through the coil surface.  If the coolant flows in the coil, then it is a DX coil.
 
Heatpump is usually operated with air to air, with the evaporator and compressor coil switched around for coolant and heating in a location that the Winter is not very cold.
 
For a large capacity heatpump, then  water is used to feed the AHU coils, and the condenser loop provides  more cooling and may use water to feed a tower to help cooling.

Subject: [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!
