other thing you need to be sure to do if you're trying to model ground source
heat pumps is to download the GSHP performance curves from the DOE22.com
website. The default curves in eQuest are not suitable for the
low water temperatures typically associated with ground source
systems.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=307555814-17082006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
curves need to be copied into the .inp file which you can do with a text
editor. The inp file is located in the project folder that equest creates
for your model. The zip file with the curves includes directions on where
in the inp file they need to be copied.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

pump<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Hi,<BR>I'm trying to change an existing model from a
conventional packaged HVAC system to a ground source heat pump. Is there
any document providing instructions for setting this up? I have already
changed my boiler and chiller to a heat pump system, and added a circulation
loop. But I don't know how to add a ground source heat exchanger to my
circulation loop amongst other things.
