I found an archived message from Aug 2012 that is closely related to a
simulation I'm working on:

Dear Aigerim,

   You will almost surely need to have access to the TESS GHP Library in 

order to carry out your study. If you do and if you are using Trnsys17, 

then look at the GHP example that is in the ..\Trnsys17\TESS 

Models\Examples\GHP Library\. It uses water-to-water heat pumps instead 

of the more common water-source heat pumps but it will give you a good 

idea of how to set up the ground loop. The water-source heat pump then 

gets connected to a ventilation type within Type56.

 

   If you are using Trnsys16 then loop at the GHP example that is in 

..\Trnsys16\Tess Models\Studio Projects\Geothermal Heat Pump Library\. 

This is an example of a water-source heat pump that is connected to a 

steady stream of constant condition air. The air is cooled based only on 

an on/off timer. The timer would be replaced by a thermostat model and 

the constant condition inlet air would be replaced by a connection from 

the building.

 

Kind regards,

  David

Can this model further be used for reading building loads (externally
generated) into the heat pump type?  I'm using HyGCHP

for comparing different hybrid configurations, but want to examine different
pumping configurations as well and looking at this

example file as a starting point for that comparison.

 

Sincerely,
