[Equest-users] eQuest Users - hydronic question

[Daniel Deese]

Scott, 

 

            Be sure to check your Heat Input Ratios (HIR) and your Electric Input Ratios (EIR).  For a chiller, if your COP is 5.0, your EIR would be 0.2.  For a boiler, if your efficiency is 80%, then your HIR is 1.25.  If I'm wrong, someone correct me, but I had a huge heat rejection load one time only to find out that my EIR for the chiller was 1.2, instead of 0.2.  thanks.

Dear eQuesters,

 

Whenever I try to add equipment capacities to anything hydronic, be it a boiler, chiller, or anything else, my energy consumption goes absolutely crazy.  Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

-          Thank you,
