[Equest-users] Heat Recovery Chiller

Heat recovery from chillers is a little tricky in eQUEST.  In order to 
recover heat, the condenser loop supply temperature must be higher than 
the heating loop return temperature.  Doing that typically increases the 
lift on the chiller increasing the electrical input energy.

You stated you couldn't recover to your reheat loop -- is it a secondary 
loop?  Unfortunately no primary equipment can be attached to secondary 
loops.
