[Equest-users] Circulation Loop Warnings

[Shaun Martin]

The CURINV warnings you see are mostly related to pumps.  What equest does
with its pump and loop calculations is a mystery and a bit of a joke (I
frequently see autosized flow rates 5 to 10 times the design).  Chances are,
if you specify kW, flow and head together, you'll end up seeing the errors
you are getting here.  Start with just the pump kW.  Add head if eQuest
complains.  You'll have to enter the head that the program calculates or,
again, you'll get more warnings.

Has anyone been able to resolve warnings that occur with circulation loops?
Please see attached for simulation warnings.
