Document Checklist
Files required to model a residential HPWH, differentiated for integral and standalone (separate) systems.
The files below are the modelling inputs for a residential HPWH. Suffixes match the /import-res-project naming convention, so the checklist doubles as a guide to what each file is renamed to in Input/<BRAND_MODEL>/.
Two system types drive what is required:
- Integral — heat pump condenser is inside or wrapped around the tank (one enclosure).
- Standalone (separate) — external HP unit connected to the tank by two circulation pipes.
Test reports
| Document | Suffix | Integral | Standalone | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS/NZS 5125.1 HP performance report | _5125 | ✓ | ✓ | COP/power regression coefficients, Tifr, standby power, tank spec |
| AS/NZS 4692 standing heat loss report | _4692 | ✓ | ✓ | Tank heat loss (kWh/day), ~2–2.5 kWh/d |
| TC5 raw test data | _TC5 | ✓ | ✓ | Frosting-penalty calibration (1-minute log) |
| TC2 raw test data | _TC2 | ✓ | — | DTHX calibration (1-minute log) |
Technical details
| Document | Suffix | Integral | Standalone | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tank drawing / dimension sheet | _Dimension | ✓ | ✓ | Tank geometry and volume table |
| Pipe insulation specification sheet | _PipeInsulation | — | ✓ | Connecting-pipe diameter, insulation thickness and k-value (if not shown on the drawing) |
| Data plate | _Dataplate | ✓ | — | Single integral-unit nameplate |
| HP + tank data plates | _HP_Dataplate, _Tank_Dataplate | — | ✓ | Two plates: HP unit and tank reservoir |
| System schematic | _Schematic | — | ✓ | Required for all except integral HP; system/tank model numbers, element location, sensors |
| Installation / operation manual | _Manual | ✓ | ✓ | Control defaults, operation modes, Legionella, warranty |
| Control declaration | _Control | ✓ | ✓ | Manufacturer control-settings statement; the pipeline can generate one for the client to sign |
| Warranty card | _Warranty | ✓ | ✓ | Whole-system warranty meeting VEU requirements (tanks <700 L) |
Certification
| Document | Suffix | Integral | Standalone | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS/NZS 2712 certificate | _2712 | ✓ | ✓ | Compliance evidence; authoritative for the brand display name in reports, TDS, Part C, upload forms |
| Electrical safety certificate | _ElectricalSafety | ✓ | ✓ | SAA/RCM/EESS market-access evidence |
Integral vs standalone differences
- Data plates — integral has one plate; standalone has two (HP unit + tank).
- System schematic — not required for integral HP; required for standalone.
- Pipe insulation — standalone only. Connecting-pipe diameter, insulation thickness, and k-value come from the tank drawing or a separate pipe insulation specification sheet.
- TC2 calibration — integral needs
_TC2for DTHX calibration. Standalone skips DTHX (no in-tank condenser wrap), so_TC2is not required. Both need_TC5. - Tank drawing — integral needs the standard volume set. Standalone needs that set plus the two HP port volumes (
vol_above_hp_return_l,vol_above_hp_supply_l), the tank wall conductivity (wall_k_w_mk), and connecting-pipe geometry. - Flow control — for standalone, whether the HP loop is fixed or variable flow is read from the 5125 test data, not the manual prose.
Notes
- Shared documents: when several models share one HP unit but use different tanks, the shared HP docs (
_5125,_Manual, the HP_Dataplate,_ElectricalSafety,_2712,_Control,_TC2/_TC5) may sit loose at the client-material root rather than be copied into every model folder. Each model folder then holds only its unique docs (_4692,_Dimension). See File Structure. - Electrical safety: the certificate is the required evidence, not the underlying lab test reports (60335, 61000, EMC, CB Test Reports). Do not file the test reports as the safety evidence.
