[Equest-users] Refrigeration Modeling in eQuest and eQuest(refrig.Version)

[Christopher Rogers]

I am able to use the refrigeration version successfully. I have used 3.55 and 3.61 for new construction and energy efficiency measure research/analysis. There are some work arounds and lessons learned that one learns from using it after some time--some things are not easily modeled, some can't be modeled, etc. If you have specific problems with a model, please post them and I can try to help you with the specifics.

I am having the same problems attempting to use the refrigeration version
3.61 and the standard version 3.6. I would appreciate hearing from anyone
who has used the refrigeration version successfully.

Thanks,

Hello all,

I am a ME student @ Portland State University attempting to model a grocery
store as my final project for my building energy modeling class.

We have mostly dealt with eQuest and my instructor is encouring us to
venture into the "unknown" within eQuest to model things we are currently
don't know how to model.

In this instance I really don't know how to model refrigeration for a
grocery store, and have been trying to get the refrigeration version of
eQuest to work for some time now.  Does anyone have a simple tutorial or a
help file that would make this possible?

An example of some of the errors I am getting would be, when I make a file
in eQuest 3.55 normal version using the wizard and try to import it into the
refrigeration version I get 28 errors, some bdl and some others.  And when I
try to import the refrigeration examples into the normal version there are
even more errors, why don't these two seeminly simlar programs communicate
well together?

Anyways, I know people have had problems with the refrigeration version in
the past, and I also know it has been succesfully used by many professional
modelers on large scale projects before, so if anyone could help it would be
greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Nick
