hplib - heat pump library

Repository with code to

• build a database with relevant data from public Heatpump Keymark Datasets.
• identify efficiency parameters from the database with a least-square regression model, comparable to Schwamberger [1].
• simulate heat pump efficiency (COP) as well as electrical (P_el) & thermal power (P_th) and massflow (m_dot) as time series.

For the simulation, it is possible to calculate outputs of a specific manufacturer + model or alternatively for one of 6 different generic heat pump types.

Documentation

If you're interested in how the database and parameters were calclulated, have a look into the Documentation HTML or Jupyter-Notebook. There you also find a simulation examples and a validation.

Heat pump models and Group IDs

The hplib_database.csv contains the following number of heat pump models, sorted by Group ID

Database

All resulting database CSV file are under .

The following columns are available for every heat pump of this library

Usage

• Get repository with pip:
  • pip install hplib

or:

• Download or clone repository:
  • git clone https://github.com/RE-Lab-Projects/hplib.git
  • Create the environment:
    • conda env create --name hplib --file requirements.txt

Create some code with from hplib import hplib and use the included functions hplib.load_database(), hplib.get_parameters, hplib.same_built_type(), hplib.HeatPump, hplib.HeatPump.simulate, hplib.HeatingSystem.calc_brine_temp() and hplib.HeatingSystem.calc_heating_dist_temp()

Hint: The csv files in the output folder are for documentation and validation purpose. The code and database files, which are meant to be used for simulations, are located in the hplib folder.

Input-Data

The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) hosts a website with the results of laboratory measurements from the keymark certification process. For every heat pump model a pdf file can be downloaded from https://keymark.eu/en/products/heatpumps/certified-products.

This repository is based on all pdf files that were download for every manufacturer on 2021-03-12.
