WP-OPT© - Heat Pumpt Simulation Software
WP-OPT - a software to design and simulate heat pump heating systems and calculate Energy Label
Selection of the heat pump, calculation of the annual performance factor with simulation
with hourly climate data, hot water preparation, cascades and back-calculation from
consumption, CO2 emissions and the report and. Step by step calculation.
Short description
The simulation software WP-OPT© helps you to design heat pump heating systems. Additionally you can compare different heating system configurations concerning the operating results.
Suggestions about the operating behaviour and the efficiency of the heat pump heating system are very difficult to make without a computer-based simulation. That is because the technical parameters of heat pump, heat source and heat delivery influence each other. Our software uses an iterative approach to calculate the temperature curve of the heat source caused by the heat withdrawal. Depending on the technical parameters of the heat pump, the current heating water temperature and the heat source temperature, the running time and the power consumption of the heat pump are calculated. They are the basis for calculating the coefficient of performance (COP) and for providing a comparison of operational costs to conventional heating systems.
Water-water, air-water and brine-water systems (the latter also with direct evaporation) are possible as well as systems with bivalent and monoenergetic mode of operation.
Naturally our software assists you in designing a heat pump heating system. Warnings appear when input or result data are out of given ranges.
The software WP-OPT© comes with a database of 1100+ heat pumps, climatic data for 37 European countries and material data of 60 kinds of ground. Moreover you can extend the database with your own data. Climatic data of other european countries are available.
