Re: [EnergyPlus_Support] Re: Plant temperatures are getting far too cold





It's more to do with your whole loop configuation, and for all I know, you may already have a constant flow condition.  Just throwing ideas out.  

To make sure it is constant flow, start by putting a constant speed pump on the glhe loop.  This pump will try to meet a constant flow state unless there is a flow restriction.  You may then need to put a bypass on the demand side to account for the extra flow when your heat pump coils don't need it.  To make the glhe side more independent, you could put in a common pipe where a variable speed pump drives the heat pump coils, and a constant speed pump drives the glhe side.  I realize these ideas probably take your model away from the system you are really modeling, but they would be useful in getting it running.

Sorry but i don't understand which field i have to change to obtain a costant flow condition? Thanks

The vertical GLHE model has in the past encuntered some issues causing oscillation.  Things to try:
  • Make sure your GLHE is sized appropriately for your situation.  Don't just grab an object from the example file, as it may be completely wrong.  If you change *some* of the parameters, the g-function will likely need to be re-generated.
  • Highly variable flow conditions can cause issues.  As a first step, try to run your GLHE on a constant flow condition.  If you need variable flow on your demand equipment then put in an uncontrolled common pipe.  
Try these and see if they fix anything.

Do you have a boiler or other water heater in the plant loop? If there is one there the water should be heated as much as you set
