Hi Linda,
Check to be certain that there exists terminal equipment in your
project containing hydronic heating coils which are actually attached to
the loop in question -- Hot Water Loop B. An easy way to check this is
to look at the 'Waterside HVAC' tree -- I'll bet you don't see any
systems under the loop in question.
Perhaps are all attached to Hot Water Loop A, or the ones you think that
are attached to Loop B have furnaces instead of hydronic heating coils.
The error you're getting essentially indicates zero demand for heating
hot water on the loop.
HTH...

Pleasehelp!
To All:
Thanks to everyone who has helped me with previous questions. I am
fairly new at energy simulation and I have learned a lot so far from
just getting emails off this listserve-
I am getting an eQUest error message: LOOP has zero flow- ABORTING. And
a message after wards:
"Errors during HVAC simulation setup or design calculations. See .sim
file for details. Terminating Run."
I cannot find this .sim file...
I have eQuest autosizing my boilers, chillers and pump GPM's. In the
detailed data output report, the error message says:
***ERROR****************************************************************
*******
Loop: Hot Water Loop B has zero design
flow.
Check input for consistency, or specify design loads.
If anyone's had this experience or has a solution, I'd really appreciate
your help!
Thanks!
