[EnergyPlus_Support] COPc values relative to active ground source cooling





Iâ??m modeling a heat pump that is connected with a vertical ground heat exchanger (27 boreholes, depth 90 m) in EnergyPlus. From the datasheet I get only rated values at standard conditions according to technical standard EN 14511. Iâ??m using the model HeatPump:WaterToWater:EquationFit:Cooling

I read at page 628 of the â??Input-Output Referenceâ?? that the model is relative to a â??reciprocating compressorâ?? but the compressor that Iâ??m modeling is scroll. As coefficients Iâ??m using default coefficients provided by DesignBuilder, a part the coefficients A1, B1, C1, and D1 (see page 936 of EngineeringReference). In fact, I changed the values of A1, B1, C1, and D1 in order to get Qh / Qh,ref = 1 and Powerh / Powerh,ref = 1 at the standard conditions.

I have plotted the COPc value as â??Water to Water Heat Pump Load Side Heat Transfer Rate  HEAT PUMP COOLING [W]â?? divided by â??Water to Water Heat Pump Electric Power  HEAT PUMP COOLING [W]â??:

I have plotted only points relative to conditions with â??System Node Temperature  CHW LOOP SUPPLY SIDE INLET [C]â?? < â??System Node Temperature  GHE LOOP SUPPLY SIDE OUTLET [C]â??, i.e. relative to when the heat pump transfers heat to a loop having higher temperature.                           

As you can see, the COPc values are between 6 and 10. Considering that the compressor is scroll, are those values realistic?

With Regards
