Terminal units. Constant performance equipment

The constant performance unit can be used to represent any air-conditioning system based on its power, its seasonal average heat or cold production performance and the type of energy it consumes (energy vector). It behaves like an ideal unit, capable of instantaneously overcoming the thermal loads of the zone in which it is located (infinite power unit), totally or up to the indicated power value, thus covering the heating or cooling energy demand of the zone.

Only one constant performance equipment can be defined per zone.

Note:
Constant performance equipment can be defined directly in the "Terminal units" section of each zone and does not require an air-conditioning system to be entered in the "Air conditioning systems" section.

Three types of constant performance equipment are available: heating only, cooling only, and heating and cooling.

Heating

This allows users to enter constant performance equipment capable of covering the heating energy demand of the area.

  • Capacity (optional)
  • Average seasonal efficiency 
  • Type of energy vector (Electricity / Natural gas / Diesel / LPG / Coal / Biomass  / Densified biomass (pellets) / Environment)
  • Operation programming (Always available / With established operating time)

Cooling

This allows users to enter constant performance equipment capable of meeting the cooling energy demand of the area.

  • Capacity (optional)
  • Average seasonal efficiency 
  • Type of energy vector (Electricity / Natural gas / Diesel / LPG / Coal / Biomass  / Densified biomass (pellets) / Environment)
  • Operation programming (Always available / With established operating time)

Both

This allows users to enter constant performance equipment that can cover both the heating energy demand and the cooling energy demand of the area.
