WSHP

Hi Oscar, Your model may have some other flaw(s) that allows for the high savings. Or the 40% could be the normal condition (I just achieved 33% against a very difficult baseline). In addition, a COP of 4 is not that great (mine has a heating COP of 5.2 and cooling EER of 14.4). Hope that's helpful, Dan Briller RS&H Daniel L.

Hello Trace users I?m modelling a WSHP plant with a COP of 4 and getting 40% reduction in cooling space energy consumption in comparison with a chiller with the same COP and similar performance curves. I have put "none" in thermal storage box in plant section for the WSHP. Any thoughts about the hight savings? --

Thanks for your comment Dan I just found in the help this paragraph: / / Thermal Storage type /Warning://All water source heat pumps must have a Heat Pump Loop Storage tank specified here. If the loop is not connected to some type of storage, a small storage tank must still be entered to model the storage effect of the condenser water loop. / I don?t have any thermal storage so I am trying to size a small tank for the simulation.
