In addition, a ‘Primary design heat flow’ and a ‘Primary design regime’ need to be defined. These are quite complex and are easy to make mistakes about. The regime and heat flow to be filled in is the actual heat supplied to the evaporator side with the right regime to supply that heat.
In case this is now not known, an assumption for COP and EER can be used to recalculate the evaporator temperature. for For example: For a booster heat pump with a designed power of 200 kW at the condenser side, at with an assumed COP = of 3 and an assumed EER = 4.of 4, the primary design heat flow at the evaporator side can be calculated as:
200 * 3 / 4 = 150 kW evaporator temperature.
Note that this the evaporator side should always be smaller than condenser side.
The primary design regime must be filled in such that it’s in coherence with the temperature regime further upstream the booster heat pump.
