[Equest-users] Induction Units in eQUEST

[Sami, Vikram]

Look under Volume 3 - air side system type Page # 265 (267th page in the pdf). It has its own primary air system, but if you are modeling a DOAS, then you do need to specify an OA-from.

Subject: [Equest-users] Induction Units in eQUEST

Hi all,

Can any explain how eQUEST models the Induction Unit (IU) system? I understand how induction units work in the real world, however, what eQUEST is doing behind its shroud is a mystery to me. The help file explains what an IU system is and what inputs to use, but does not explain how an IU works.

For example, do we need to specify a primary air system and label it an OA From System? Does eQUEST create separate zone induction units for each zone like it does for WSHP or PTAC systems? Does it actually do zone cooling?

Any enlightenment would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dana
