Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] VRF water-cooled condensers.



What is the temperature of the water? Use the node report variables.

Output:Variable,MyVRFWaterInNode,System Node Temp,hourly;

where:
MyVRFWaterInNode = the name of the condenser water inlet node

  AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow,
    WaterCooled,               !- Condenser Type
    MyVRFWaterInNode,             !- Condenser Inlet Node Name

Hi,

I understand the warning message meaning. I have increased  Heating Maximum Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature, but the  Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature  also incease. 

   ** Warning ** AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow "VRF EXTERIORUNIT01 PBYP1".
   **   ~~~   ** ...InitVRF: VRF Heat Pump Min/Max Outdoor Temperature in Heating Mode Limits have been exceeded and VRF system is disabled.

I am trying to simulate a VRF water condenser. In proyect, the water temperature is defined between 35ºC and 20ºC, so, I should include a boiler and a cooling tower in the condenser loop.

So, my doubt is  Which is the Heating Min/Max Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature infuence in the VFR water condenser?

I am thinking the problem may lie the curves, because i am using the VRF example curves. Any other idea?

Have anyone an example for water condenser exterior unit curves?

thanks

I have no idea how your system is operating.
 
** Warning ** AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow "VRF EXTERIORUNIT01 PBYP1".

The warning message is clera.    35.077 is larger than 35.00.
 
Outdoor dry bulb temperature is your environment temperature.

i used you advice to build the model, but when running this warning is showed:

   ** Warning ** AirConditioner:VariableRefrigerantFlow "VRF EXTERIORUNIT01 PBYP1".
   **   ~~~   ** ...InitVRF: VRF Heat Pump Min/Max Outdoor Temperature in Heating Mode Limits have been exceeded and VRF system is disabled.

   **   ~~~   **  During Warmup, Environment=BARCELONA INVIERNO, at Simulation time=01/01 19:00 - 19:15

Anyone kown how i can solve it? Which is the Heating Min/Max Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature infuence in the VFR water condenser?

thanks

Yes, use a single plant loop to serve the VRF condenser.
Here's a file I have been playing with.
The imf file is the building and VRF system.
The idf is the plant loop.
The in.idf file is these two files after EPMacro assembles them together.

Dear all,

I am trying to simulate a VRF water condenser. I know that you can do it with version 7.2. In proyect, the water temperature is defined between 35ºC and 20ºC, so, I should include a boiler in the condenser loop.

Is this configuration possible today in energyplus? Anyone know how i can simulate it?

Thanks in advance
