Prototype AirConditionerVariableRefrigerantFlow object.

Enters in default curves for coil by type of coil.

Parameters:

  • model – [OpenStudio::Model::Model] OpenStudio model object.

  • name – [String] the name of the system, or None in which case it will be defaulted.

  • schedule – [String] name of the availability schedule, or [<OpenStudio::Model::Schedule>] Schedule object, or None in which case default to always on.

  • type – [String] the type of unit to reference for the correct curve set.

  • cooling_cop – [Double] rated cooling coefficient of performance.

  • heating_cop – [Double] rated heating coefficient of performance.

  • heat_recovery – [Boolean] does the unit have heat recovery.

  • defrost_strategy – [String] type of defrost strategy. Options are ReverseCycle or Resistive.

  • condenser_type – [String] type of condenser. options are AirCooled (default), WaterCooled, and EvaporativelyCooled. if WaterCooled, the user most include a condenser_loop.

  • master_zone – [<OpenStudio::Model::ThermalZone>] master control zone to switch between heating and cooling.

  • priority_control_type – [String] Type of master thermostat priority control type. Options are LoadPriority, ZonePriority, ThermostatOffsetPriority, MasterThermostatPriority.
