NEEA Product Council
Low-Load Efficiency Heat Pump Performance
Details
This Product Council presents NEEA’s 2023-4 research investigating variable speed system performance at low-load conditions during mild weather conditions. Low-load efficiency is one of the no/low-cost market shifts we are pursuing at NEEA, which we believe can generate a 5% gain of fleet-wide performance. The truth is that not all variable speed heat pumps perform well when at low-load conditions. Most of this is because the heat pump control algorithms are designed for specific conditions. The good news is these control algorithms can be modified to generate COPs greater than 4.5 during mild weather conditions, which are the bulk of all operating hours. The bad news is that there are two issues that need to be addressed to ensure real world performance gains are achieved. The presentation will cover data, analysis and methods for ensuring low-load efficiency of variable speed heat pumps.
Presenters: Christopher Dymond (NEEA) and JJ Sawicki (TRC)

Microsoft Teams meeting
Modeling and lab testing revealed that some heat pumps work significantly better under part-load (low-load) conditions, resulting in significant annual energy savings with little to no differentiation in retail price. NEEA contracted with Cadeo Group and Optimized Thermal Systems to better understand why and what equipment hardware or design changes are needed to achieve top quartile low-load efficiency.
The project involved two parts: 1) explore why. If the NEEP-published minimum capacity COP at 47 degrees is a good indicator of low-load efficiency, why isn’t this value reflected in the federal test procedure for HSPF2 or SEER2? And 2) the second part was to conduct a detailed virtual “paper” tear-down of many different heat pump systems to determine the source of low-load efficiency and what, if any, hard costs can be associated with such systems.
