<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>For an eQuest model in Dallas, TX where I'm comparing WLHP system with central plant options:</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>1) Can someone refresh my memory on how to get variable(s) output to a csv or text file?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Right now I find "Print" which embedds the data in the *.sim file, plot which does nothing, and binary which makes a binary file of some type that I don't think contains my data anyway based on its size.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>2) My system and equipment sizing are different. The sum total of all capacities for a WLHP system adds up to ~8.5 mmbtu/hr. However, my cooling tower and circulation loop end up sized at 17.6 mmbtu/hr. Can someone suggest where I might have a spurrious input variable, or some default that should be "undefaulted"?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Why does the sizing go so large, and then have no hours greater than 50% in the PS-H report?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I can set the capacity of the cooling tower manually and get better results, but is this what I should be doing? The loop still sizes large.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>3) Lastly, will it be true that if I take column 8 in the PS-A (Elec Input for Cooling) which I believe contains the chiller and cooling tower energy, and circulation pumps for them, but not the central CHW/CW pump energy, and divide by column 3, (Total Cooling Load) and adjusting for units, come up with a number that is equivalent to NPLV for the chillers/towers?</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>I seem to be getting a marked increase in the monthly values for this overall efficiency, and I don't think it should be due to part load by my WSHP system. What else might be included here? Are the central pumping energies included here? This effect is seen in both the WLHP and central chiller options.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Thanks for any help and insights that bldg-sim can offer on these!</DIV>
