A Modelica model for the simulation of heat pumps is presented. The model uses a simplified vapor compression cycle with only five refrigerant states. Parameters to the model are evaluated using an optimization procedure to minimize the differences between the model predicted heating capacities and power input and those provided in the manufacturer technical data. The optimization process is done from a Python implementation of the heat pump model.
