I think there could be someone else on the forum who would be better to answer your question... and I don't know who. Now, if you were building your own heat pump, I could help you out, but divining the intent the factory is just not my specialty. Sorry,-AC

Referring to the original question: can someone explain what the terms "part load" vs. "full load" mean with regard to heat pump performance? I've been reading a PDF from roth-usa.com on their RWT Series Water-to-Water Heat Pumps, and in the performance data under the column titled "capacity," they list values for part and full load. Are they modulating heat pumps, or to what do the terms apply?
Got a reply, and sorry about not being in the correct thread:
Hi Michael,
The Roth RWT heat pumps include a 2-stage compressor. The “Part Load” refers to the compressor operating in the first stage. The “Full Load” refers to the compressor operating in first and second stage. The microprocessor control automatically engages the second stage when the load is greater than the first stage can accommodate.
Please contact me if you have any further questions.
