Coil:Cooling:WaterToAirHeatPump:VariableSpeedEquationFit

from idfpy.models import CoilCoolingWaterToAirHeatPumpVariableSpeedEquationFit

Direct expansion (DX) cooling coil for water-to-air heat pump (includes electric compressor), variable-speed, equation-fit model. Optional inputs for moisture evaporation from wet coil when compressor cycles off with continuous fan operation. Equation-fit model uses normalized curves to describe the heat pump performance. Requires two to ten sets of performance data and will interpolate between speeds. Modeled as a single coil with variable-speed compressor.

Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature to Turn On Compressor
number
C
The outdoor temperature when the compressor is automatically turned back on following an automatic shut off because of low outdoor dry-bulb temperature. This field is only used for the calculation of HSPF. If this field is not provided, then outdoor bin temperature used in the HSPF calculation is always considered to be greater than this temperature and 'Minimum Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature for Compressor Operation' field described above. This assumption is based on AHRI standard 210/240 (2008) and can introduce significant error in the final value of HSPF.

The outdoor temperature when the compressor is automatically turned back on following an automatic shut off because of low outdoor dry-bulb temperature. This field is only used for the calculation of HSPF. If this field is not provided, then outdoor bin temperature used in the HSPF calculation is always considered to be greater than this temperature and 'Minimum Outdoor Dry-Bulb Temperature for Compressor Operation' field described above. This assumption is based on AHRI standard 210/240 (2008) and can introduce significant error in the final value of HSPF.

CoilSystem:Cooling:DX:HeatExchangerAssisted

from idfpy.models import CoilSystemCoolingDXHeatExchangerAssisted

Virtual component consisting of a direct expansion (DX) cooling coil and an air-to-air heat exchanger. The air-to-air heat exchanger precools the air entering the cooling coil and reuses this energy to reheat the supply air leaving the cooling coil. This heat exchange process improves the latent removal performance of the cooling coil (lower sensible heat ratio).
