<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>My VFD chiller has roughly the same COP at peak operation as
my non-VFD chiller; however, the IPLV is much better because the performance at
part load is more efficient. However, varying the IPLV of the chiller in EE4 does
not appear to have any impact on the results whatsoever. Varying the COP
affects things; however, varying the IPLV does not.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
