[Equest-users] Modeling Absorption Cooling system using waste heat from Diesel Generator

[Nicholas Caton]

Another piece of advice:



One thing you will eventually need to “spoon feed” the model is exactly
when and to what extent the generator set operates.  This operation may
track the need for electrical demand, a variety of thermal (waste heat)
demands, or may be on a fully independent schedule.  As you are setting
this up, I advise “reading ahead” for these control inputs so that you can
ask the right questions of the right people, allowing you time to spare!

When you create your absorption chiller, you will have to specify a hot
water loop that it takes heat from.



Then, when you create your electric generator, you can specify the same hot
water ‎loop for waste heat from both the exhaust and the jacket water.

Dear All,



I am modeling a commercial building using eQUEST that incorporates an
absorption cooling system that uses waste heat from a diesel generator set.



Could someone please throw light to the procedure to be used..



Thanks in advance
