[Equest-users] Hybrid Geothermal WSHP System

[Anthony Hardman]

You can model fluid cooler's with ground loops but not boilers
unfortunately.  There's a good example in the help file entitled,
"Ground-Loop Heat-Exchangers and Fluid Coolers in parallel on WLHP loops" 

 

If you're comfortable doing basic text editing to the input file it's pretty
easy.

Subject: [Equest-users] Hybrid Geothermal WSHP System

 

Dear eQuest Users,

 

Our client wants to add a vertical geothermal heat exchanger to a facility
that presently uses a conventional WSHP-Tower-Boiler. We are required to
produce a LCCA. I would like to perform this analysis using eQuest. I have
seen some talk of these systems in the archives but nothing explicit. Can
this system be modeled using eQuest? Meaning can eQuest model the insertion
of a heat exchanger from a cooling tower tied into the geo loop?

 

With a little help from my friends, could a beginning eQuest user complete
this task? We have a pretty good fee and I would like to use this project to
enhance my eQuest capabilities. I have been to one of Marlin's seminars.

 

Thanks
