Technical parameters for heat pump space heaters and heat pump combination heaters

For heat pump space heaters and heat pump combination heaters, the rated heat output Prated is equal to the design load for heating Pdesignh, and the rated heat output of a supplementary heater Psup is equal to the supplementary capacity for heating sup(Tj).

If Cdh is not determined by measurement then the default degradation coefficient is Cdh = 0,9.
