Thermal power

This scenario will allow you to calculate the characteristics of your heat pump.

Installation

On the Market page, open the Extensions tab and click on the download icon near the selected item.

Go to the Scenarios page, click the “Create scenario” list and select the scenario you need.

Setup

To edit the scenario name, click on the title, enter a new value and save.

Choose a device sensor that determines the temperature delta.

Choose the device sensor that controls pump flow.

Choose the device sensor that determines electricity power.

To save the scenario, click the “Save” button.

To start the scenario, turn on the toggle of the status. Turn on the scenario, and the threshold will appear in the scenario settings. Click on it to see the details.

The following characteristics of a heat pump have been calculated:

• coefficient-of-performance is a ratio of useful heating or cooling provided to work (energy) required;
• heat-capacity is a physical property of matter, defined as the amount of heat to be supplied to an object to produce a unit change in its temperature;
• heat-power is the conversion of electrical energy into heat;
• recalculation-time is a time interval that will start to calculate the values again.

Users could change the initial values set in the scenario or edit some values on the threshold. The characteristics of a heat pump will be calculated again.
